At the end of his contract with Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold has been at the heart of the news at the Mersey club in recent weeks. While persistent rumors suggest a strong interest from Real Madrid to attract him freely next summer, the English right-back is also in discussions with his managers for a contract extension.
According to The Sunthe management of the Reds has relaunched negotiations to extend the lease of the native of Liverpool. However, to sign a new contract, Alexander-Arnold demands 22 million euros annually, double his current salary.

With such an amount, the 2024 European vice-champion would become the best-paid player in the Liverpool locker room, ahead of Mohamed Salah (21 million euros) and Virgil Van Dijk (13 million euros). In addition, he would join the closed circle of the five highest paid players in the Kingdom, currently made up of the Egyptian striker, Erling Haaland (44 million euros), Kevin De Bruyne (24 million euros), as well as Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish, who each receive 18 million euros per year.
It remains to be seen whether an agreement will be reached between Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool. Especially since the Three Lions defender will be free to begin negotiations with the club of his choice from January 1.
