Romano addresses speculation surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s potential new contract with Liverpool.

Liverpool are on the brink of a league title triumph, a moment of celebration for the club—but lingering in the background is uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future.

Amid widespread speculation linking the right-back with a move to Real Madrid, many assumed clarity would’ve emerged by now. However, as time passes, whispers of a potential change of heart have grown louder, hinting at the possibility that the England international might still commit his future to Merseyside.

Addressing these rumours, Fabrizio Romano stated: “Trent Alexander-Arnold is still expected to join Real Madrid. NO changes despite the ‘noise’ on social media.”

This comes as a blow to supporters hoping the boyhood Red would renew his contract.

With growing confidence from Spanish media and figures like Jan Molby echoing what they’ve heard from Real Madrid fans, it seems increasingly likely that Trent is bound for La Liga. Even Jamie Carragher, following boos aimed at the defender during a match against Leicester City, urged fans to show support—but this latest update may only fuel frustrations.

Though there was optimism among fans about a new deal being struck, the signs now point toward a future without Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool. The full impact of his departure will unfold in time, but the reality of his potential exit is setting in faster than anyone anticipated.
