by Liverpool have made a start to the season that they could never have imagined. Arne Slot has made the move from Jürgen Klopp, it looks like literally nothing happened at Anfield in the summer.
There has only been one defeat so far, namely the unfortunate 1-0 home result against Nottingham Forest.
News – Liverpool are “seriously” planning to finally sign the £68million star – with the club fearing they will lose him
The Reds were perfect away from home. Despite all this, there is this ongoing tension at the Merseyside club given the situations of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk.
Of the three, Liverpool would feel the most pressure if they did not extend Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract and he left on a free transfer at the end of the season. Given Real Madrid’s interest, this is a realistic possibility.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool have now made a huge offer to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold to a new contract, but could be fighting a losing battle to keep him at the club with Real Madrid constantly knocking.
Given Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury, Real Madrid recognizes the need to sign a new right-back. Their only other option besides Trent is Pedro Porro, Tottenham’s defensive star. However, with a contract until 2028 it is likely to be significantly more expensive.
Trent currently earns around £10 million a year at Liverpool. Should he agree to sign a new contract, the Reds will surely make a significant financial offer for a player who is vice-captain and waiting to become captain.
However, if Liverpool can make 10 moves, Real can make 100 moves with their financial strength.
It remains to be seen whether the Reds can use the player’s affection for the club to convince him to sign a new contract.
