Alexander-Arnold and Salah had to be kept apart during open training ahead of the PSG match.

Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been at the center of ongoing contract speculation, but the duo recently made headlines for a playful scuffle at the AXA Training Centre.

With the media present, the pair would have been aware that their actions were being closely watched, ensuring their interaction drew attention. Salah could be seen smiling as Harvey Elliott pulled him away, while Alexander-Arnold’s demeanor was slightly harder to interpret.

Ibou Konate stepped in to separate his vice-captain, and the two eventually walked away, though there seems to be no real cause for concern—it all appeared to be lighthearted banter.

Salah and Alexander-Arnold’s playful clash may raise a few eyebrows, but it doesn’t suggest any serious tension. Meanwhile, David Ornstein remains optimistic about Salah staying at Anfield next season, which will be reassuring for many Liverpool fans.

The Egyptian’s influence has been immense this season, with 32 goals and 22 assists in 41 games, making the prospect of his departure unsettling.

However, James Pearce believes Alexander-Arnold is more likely to leave, with Real Madrid continually linked to him. As the season progresses, Liverpool supporters will hope that a successful treble-winning campaign convinces the academy graduate to stay at his boyhood club.
