Liverpool manager drops hint over Real Madrid’s target future – ‘Should tell you enough’ | OneFootball

Over the past few days, the chatter surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold and a possible transfer to Real Madrid in the summer has been relentless.

Reports in Spain suggested that the Liverpool right-back is almost certain to join Los Blancos on a free transfer when his contract with the Reds expires on June 30, 2025.

It was suggested that the 26-year-old Englishman had rejected multiple renewal offers from Liverpool and had informed those close to him that he will sign for Real Madrid.

However, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has hinted that Alexander-Arnold might not be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

After finding the back of the net, Alexander-Arnold celebrated the goal by making the ‘keep talking’ gesture amid the rising noise around his future.

Many fans perceived it to be a statement from the defender about his commitment to Liverpool and manager Arne Slot also seemed to see it that way.

When asked about Alexander-Arnold’s future after the game, he said (h/t Fabrizio Romano): “The way he celebrated his goal should tell you enough.”

With Alexander-Arnold set to enter the final six months of his deal in the next couple of days, a decision over his future might not be much further away.

It will be certainly interesting to see if the 26-year-old right-back will make the jump to the Santiago Bernabeu or remain at his boyhood club for longer.
