🚨 JUST IN: The news every Liverpool fan around the world has been waiting for has just arrived.

Liverpool has made securing a new contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold a priority ahead of the 2025 transfer window, with talks reportedly already underway regarding new terms for the right-back.

The 25-year-old’s current contract at Anfield is set to expire at the end of this season, and interest from Real Madrid has raised concerns within the club about the player’s future, particularly considering the stature of the current Champions League holders.

Alexander-Arnold isn’t the only key Liverpool player with a contract expiring in 2025, as captain Virgil van Dijk and forward Mohamed Salah are also awaiting new terms. However, the club has made the renewal of the right-back’s contract a top priority. Before finalizing any deal, they need to determine what Alexander-Arnold envisions for his future, according to reports from Football Insider.

Negotiations for an extension have already taken place, but there has been no significant progress made yet in reaching an agreement.

If Alexander-Arnold decides to depart at the end of the season, Liverpool may look to options like Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a potential replacement. Sources have also indicated that the club is monitoring Juanlu Sánchez’s situation at Sevilla, though none of these options would be considered unless the full-back leaves Anfield.

Liverpool cannot afford to let Trent Alexander-Arnold go in 2025. If he were to leave, replacing his unique talent would be nearly impossible for the Reds. Alexander-Arnold is considered a generational full-back and has been a cornerstone for Liverpool since his debut in 2016. Over his 317 appearances for the club, he has scored 19 goals and registered 83 assists.

Real Madrid’s interest in him is a testament to his exceptional ability, as players with his skill set are rare.
