Liverpool fans are feeling uneasy after a concerning contract update regarding one of their key players.

Arne Slot has kept quiet regarding contract talks with Liverpool’s key players.

Fans worry that Trent Alexander-Arnold may have already decided to leave next summer, as reports suggest contract negotiations have stalled.

Liverpool has made an impressive start under Slot, leading both the Premier League and Champions League. While they look set for a thrilling season that could bring the silverware that eluded Jurgen Klopp last year, there is some anxiety among fans about the long-term future of the squad.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold—all crucial to Liverpool’s recent successes—are out of contract next summer. The trio has largely avoided discussing their future plans, but with January approaching, Liverpool will be unable to stop them from negotiating free transfers with other clubs.

According to The Sun, Alexander-Arnold has paused contract discussions, while Liverpool is hesitant to offer him a salary comparable to Salah and Van Dijk. Real Madrid, known for signing top players on free transfers, is reportedly watching Alexander-Arnold’s situation closely, leading many fans to fear his departure may be inevitable.

One fan on social media speculated that only van Dijk’s contract might be renewed, believing Alexander-Arnold is likely to leave and Salah’s future uncertain. Another fan expressed concern over time running out for Liverpool to finalize these deals, while another pondered whether Liverpool should sell Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid in January if an offer comes in.

Despite this uncertainty, Slot recently stated that he’s not worried about the contract situation as long as the players keep performing. He explained that the issue would only be problematic if it affected their performance, but so far, all three players are in good form and discussions are ongoing.
