Liverpool Handed Major Contract Update as Trent Alexander-Arnold Early Exit ‘Conditions’ Emerge
Liverpool latest transfer developments and circulating rumours feature notable updates regarding Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Following Liverpool’s successful clinching of the Premier League title last weekend in their fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, focus has swiftly turned to the upcoming season and how the squad can be further enhanced. Arne Slot has impressed during his debut campaign at Anfield, managing to step into Jurgen Klopp’s shoes with remarkable ease.
Slot made history as the first Dutch manager to claim a Premier League title, achieving this milestone while guiding Liverpool to their 20th league championship, matching the all-time record. A crucial strategy for maintaining this momentum lies in ensuring the club’s core players are tied down to long-term deals.
While Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have already pledged their futures to the club, doubts still surround the commitment of other key figures in the squad. Among them is vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has recently been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
With these factors in mind, Newsnow examine the latest updates from Liverpool, focusing particularly on the uncertain futures of two significant players.
Liverpool ‘Set for Contract Talks’
Luis Diaz remains contracted to Liverpool until the summer of 2027 and has established himself as a vital member of the team since joining from Porto in January 2022.
Under Arne Slot’s management this season, he has proved indispensable, contributing 16 goals in all competitions while featuring both on the flanks and centrally.
Despite his current deal, ongoing speculation about his future has intensified, with interest reportedly coming from Barcelona and clubs in the financially rewarding Saudi Pro League. Nonetheless, recent reports suggest that clarity on his situation might be reached in the near future.
Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has reported that Diaz and his representatives plan to accelerate contract discussions once the season concludes. Data from Capology shows that Diaz is among the lowest earners at Liverpool, so it is expected that he will seek improved terms that better represent his increasing value to the team.
TrentAlexander-Arnold Early Exit Conditions Emerge
In less encouraging developments, the speculation linking Trent Alexander-Arnold with a move to Real Madrid shows no signs of abating.
While reports since January have implied that an agreement between the player and the Spanish club is virtually complete, Liverpool fans had grown hopeful that their homegrown talent might reconsider—particularly in light of the club’s recent Premier League triumph.
That optimism now appears misplaced, as new reports from Spain indicate that Real Madrid intend to secure Alexander-Arnold’s signature before his current contract ends in June.
With the club scheduled to participate in this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup, they are reportedly eager for the defender to be available for the competition.
According to Spanish publication AS, Liverpool would be open to an early release under two specific conditions: Alexander-Arnold would need to formally request the move himself and agree to forfeit his June wages, which are estimated at just under £1 million.
The same report claims that Real Madrid would also be required to provide a compensation payment, although this is expected to be minimal, given the savings Liverpool would make on wages. The total expense for the La Liga side is anticipated to fall between £1.2 million and £1.7 million.
