The Trent Alexander-Arnold contract situation has turned out to be a bit of a soap opera as Liverpool are sweating over the possibility of watching their top star leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
His current deal is set to run out next summer and negotiations over a new deal have not gone anywhere between the club and the player’s representatives.
Liverpool are desperate to hold on to him but it seems increasingly likely that the defender will run down his current contract and leave on a free transfer next summer.
Real Madrid have offered him a mega-deal and will make their formal approach for him in January when he will be free to discuss a pre-contract with clubs outside England.
Paris Saint-Germain also have their eyes on Alexander-Arnold and want to give Real Madrid a tough fight in the race to sign him on a free transfer next summer.
Liverpool are still hopeful that a new deal will get agreed upon but the Reds fans won’t like the news coming out of Spain about the state of the negotiations.
More bad news on the Trent Alexander-Arnold contract situation
Liverpool have been in talks with the player and his representatives as they push to convince him to sign a new deal with the club.
However, it seems no progress has been made in the negotiations and according to Sport, the defender has rejected multiple offers from Liverpool.
The Reds have made several offers to the defender but so far, the terms on offer have not impressed the Alexander-Arnold camp.
His contract situation gives the defender all the power in the negotiations and Real Madrid and PSG are prepared to offer him massive wages.
Can you name the club Liverpool signed these players from?
Liverpool would have to find a way to get close to the money on offer at other clubs if they have to convince the player to sign a new contract.
The club are paying for allowing the situation to fester and not sorting out a new deal with the academy hero sooner.
Alexander-Arnold is in no hurry to resolve the situation given his options will open up in Janaury when his foreign suitors can make concrete offers to his agents.
