During Liverpool’s big victory against West Ham (5-0), Trent Alexander-Arnold scored his first goal of the season and sparked many reactions. His celebration, hand to ear and gesture asking for silence, was interpreted as a response to rumors about his future. While Real Madrid are optimistic about signing him next summer, the move has reassured some Reds fans.
Arne Slot reacts to Alexander-Arnold’s celebration
Asked after the match, Arne Slot, Liverpool manager, commented on the situation: “I don’t think it’s negative. He plays very well. The way he celebrated says enough. I’m happy with him, just like I am with Salah and Van Dijk. » Despite contractual tensions, Slot insisted on the importance of Trent Alexander-Arnold to the team.
However, according to several media, discussions for a contract extension are stagnating. With his contract expiring next June, the player will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January, and Real Madrid appear confident of finalizing his arrival.
