Liverpool set to FIGHT Man United for BRILLIANT Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement | OneFootball

The longer the season goes on without Trent Alexander-Arnold signing a new contract at Liverpool, the more likely it feels that he will leave at the end of the season and join Real Madrid.

Liverpool's vice-captain is free to speak to other clubs from January 1st – as are Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk – and has been heavily linked with a move away, with Jude Bellingham trying to convince him to join him in Madrid.

While it's far from an ideal situation for Arne Slot to be in just a few months into his time on Merseyside, both he and Trent should be applauded for keeping performances to an extremely high standard, despite the speculation.

Liverpool's main goal should be to renew Trent's contract at pretty much whatever cost. He is one of the club's best players and carries the tradition

However, if Trent does leave the Reds will need to have a replacement lined up, and it looks like they could be set to fight Manchester United for one players' signature.
