Trent Alexander-Arnold has spoken out about his future at boyhood club Liverpool as speculation mounts over a potential move to Real Madrid with his deal expiring in the summer.
The defender has been at the Reds since 2004, breaking into the first team in 2016 and quickly becoming a fan favourite with his pinpoint crosses and dangerous set pieces.
Since then, Alexander-Arnold has won the lot, lifting the Champions League trophy in 2019 and the Premier League title a year later, as well as picking up an FA Cup and two League Cups.
He looks likely to be kissing more silverware later this season, with Liverpool making a remarkable start under new boss Arne Slot finding themselves four points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
But the 26-year-old could be set for a departure with contract negotiations stagnating in recent weeks and huge European sides, including Real Madrid, circling for the star.
Indeed, Alexander-Arnold has remained somewhat coy on his Anfield future, with teammate Mohamed Salah’s situation gaining more attention, but he has now broken his silence in an interview with Sky Sports.

He has also started to break into the England side after regularly being frozen out in the past
He said: ‘I have been at the club 20 years now and I have signed four or five contract extensions… and none of those have been played out in public.
‘This one won’t be either.’
It comes after pundit Rio Ferdinand suggested it would be a ‘monumental’ achievement if Liverpool manage to keep all three of their out-of-contract stars after the summer transfer window.
Captain Virgil van Dijk, along with Alexander-Arnold and Salah, is also a potential departure from Anfield next year, with less than six months left on the trio’s deals before they can leave as free agents in June 2025.
Mail Sport reported on Sunday that the club have had made initial contact with Salah over a new contract offer, but the Egyptian star is not thought to be close to coming to an agreement with the Reds over extending his time on Merseyside.
All three of the players are entitled to talk to foreign clubs from January 1, with a number of European giants thought to be circling the standout performers with a view to securing their services for nothing.
