“Will Salah and VVD’s Commitment Trigger a Stunning Trent Contract U-Turn? Sky Reporter Explores”

“Could Salah and VVD’s Loyalty Spark a Surprise Trent Contract Twist? Sky Journalist Weighs In”

Mo Salah? Secured. Virgil van Dijk? Locked in. Trent Alexander-Arnold? Still uncertain.

Two of Liverpool’s key figures have committed to staying at Anfield until 2027, leaving vice-captain Alexander-Arnold as the only one potentially departing on a free transfer in just a few weeks.

According to David Ornstein, the England right-back is set to join Real Madrid when his current contract expires on June 30. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also suggested a sudden change in plans is unlikely, despite his teammates pledging their futures to Liverpool.

But could Alexander-Arnold still follow Salah and Van Dijk in staying? Sky Sports journalist Vinny O’Connor hasn’t ruled it out. Commenting on Van Dijk’s new deal, O’Connor hinted at a potential shift:

“Now we wait to see if this influences Trent Alexander-Arnold. We haven’t heard the same indications from him as we did from Salah or Van Dijk. Real Madrid’s interest remains, but perhaps the decisions of these two could sway him.”

Trent staying at Liverpool would be a shocking twist.

While surprises are never off the table in football, it seems unlikely that Trent Alexander-Arnold will snub Real Madrid and commit to a new contract with the Reds. Having returned to training this week following an injury, the right-back appears focused on contributing to Liverpool’s cause before potentially bidding farewell at the season’s end.

Unless there’s an unexpected turn of events, it’ll be intriguing to see how Anfield reacts if he features in the remaining matches. The lukewarm sentiment shown by posters near the stadium during the recent Merseyside derby suggests he might not receive the hero’s welcome he once enjoyed.

However, if Trent were to make a U-turn and extend his stay at his boyhood club, it could restore much of the adoration he previously commanded. Such a move would also ensure Liverpool retains one of the world’s top right-backs.

If he does leave, though, the new deals for Salah and Van Dijk are far from minor consolations. Either way, it’s been a triumphant week for Liverpool fans, with even greater celebrations likely on the horizon as a Premier League title looms large.
