Liverpool supporters are keenly aware of three major contract situations that need to be addressed in the coming weeks and months, a topic Arne Slot has already touched upon.
When asked about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool, Slot told The Athletic, “We didn’t discuss his commitment specifically, but we talked about how he fits into my playing style. At the time, he was focused on the Euros, but from what I’ve seen recently, he looks fit and sharp. I’m eager to see him train.”
It’s reassuring to hear that the new head coach has already had discussions with Alexander-Arnold, especially given his role as vice-captain. Now back in training, it’s likely that a conversation about the immediate future has already taken place.
Slot’s comments suggest that there isn’t significant concern about losing this key player over the summer. This sentiment was echoed when Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez were seen joking about the possibility of Alexander-Arnold moving to Real Madrid, hinting at a relaxed atmosphere within the club regarding his future.
While transfer activity may not be rampant this summer, it’s crucial for sporting director Richard Hughes to focus on securing long-term commitments from key players. Alongside Alexander-Arnold, ensuring the futures of Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah should be a priority, providing stability and continuity for Liverpool moving forward.
