Trent Alexander-Arnold could leave Real Madrid anxious about a contract reversal after new footage emerges.

Trent Alexander-Arnold looks increasingly likely to leave Liverpool this summer.

The Reds’ right-back is widely expected—based on top-tier sources—to join Real Madrid on a free transfer once his current deal runs out. In contrast, Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah have already committed to new contracts, both originally set to expire in the summer of 2025.

Did Alexander-Arnold hint at a change of heart?
While hopes of a late contract twist seem optimistic, his emotional celebration after a recent goal raised a few eyebrows, including from former goalkeeper Ben Foster, who questioned what it meant for his future at Anfield.

That moment could simply reflect the usual rush of emotion players feel after scoring. However, a post-match clip shared by @Watch_LFC via Sky Sports has added intrigue—showing Alexander-Arnold tapping the Liverpool crest and saluting the away fans at the King Power Stadium.

Maybe it was just a passionate gesture during a tense title chase? That’s a fair take.

But Real Madrid still appear to be in the driving seat.
It’s hard to imagine the Liverpool vice-captain pulling out of a move to Spain now. His lack of public comment, especially when others in a similar contract situation have already re-signed, speaks volumes.

Of course, surprises can happen. But right now, all signs point toward Alexander-Arnold heading to the Bernabéu—though it’s worth remembering how much he’s cherished his time at Liverpool.
