The Trent Alexander-Arnold contract negotiations have turned into a full-blown saga as Liverpool push to keep the player at the club beyond the end of his current deal next summer.
Alexander-Arnold has yet to agree to sign a new deal and the negotiations over a new deal between his representatives and Liverpool have dragged on for months.
Real Madrid are interested in taking him to Spain on a free transfer next summer and have been quietly confident about the defender not signing a new deal at Anfield.
Liverpool insist that the player has not made up his mind yet, and negotiations are still ongoing between his camp and the Merseyside giants.
In less than six weeks, Alexander-Arnold will be free to hold talks with clubs outside England if a new deal is not agreed upon between the two parties.
However, there are claims that a key announcement about his future at Liverpool could be imminent.
The Trent Alexander-Arnold contract saga could be in it’s endgame
Liverpool are still hopeful that an agreement will be in place for Alexander-Arnold to commit his long-term future to the club in the coming weeks and months.
Alexander-Arnold has been tempted at the prospect of joining Real Madrid who are pushing to take him to the Spanish capital on a free transfer next summer.
Liverpool have offered to make him the highest-paid player at the club and there are now rumours that he could be signing a new deal with the club.
The defender has been seen filming with the club, which has fired up speculation of an imminent announcement about his future.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
He was seen visiting his home neighbourhood of West Derby and was interviewed by a camera crew.
There are suggestions that Liverpool could soon announce that the defender has agreed to sign a new contract with the club.
Liverpool are yet to leak anything to suggest that the defender is close to signing a new deal and Real Madrid appear confident of signing him.
However, Alexander-Arnold getting spotted in his old neighbourhood means something could be brewing about his long-term future going forward.
