Liverpool slams door on La Liga giants

Liverpool has slammed the door on Real Madrid’s pursuit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, rejecting their approach just as the England star’s future hangs in the balance.

The 26-year-old right-back, whose contract expires in June 2025, has been at the center of speculation, with Madrid reportedly eyeing a move.

However, despite months of quiet negotiations over a potential new deal, Liverpool swiftly dismissed Madrid’s inquiry. According to The Times, Real Madrid’s interest was “immediately rebuffed” by the Premier League club, signaling that their prized academy graduate is not for sale—at least not yet.

But the drama doesn’t end there. Last Saturday, Spanish reports claimed Alexander-Arnold had already decided on his next move, allegedly telling Liverpool’s hierarchy he wants to join Real Madrid. Still, his performance on the pitch told a different story.

After scoring in Liverpool’s dominant 5-0 win over West Ham, the full-back raised his hand in an intriguing gesture, as if to tell the world he has something to say—but wasn’t quite ready to speak just yet.

Is this an understated hint about his future, or just another piece in the growing mystery surrounding one of the Premier League’s top talents? The plot thickens!
