According to reports, despite Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah extending their contracts with Liverpool, the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield remains uncertain, and fans are not optimistic about his stay next season.

This has caused disappointment among fans regarding the beloved right-back of recent years, but Ryan Babel, a former star of Liverpool’s attack, believes nothing is certain until an official contract is signed between Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid.

Babel told Goal: “Until something is signed, things can still change. I’ve seen crazy things in football, so anything is possible.

At the same time, I understand the perspective of a Liverpool fan—they are disappointed and would love to see Trent renew his contract with the club.

Obviously, he was born in this city, so perhaps the fans are even more sensitive. But ultimately, this is Trent’s career, and if you look back, I think he has given everything for the club.

He has already achieved a lot for the club, and sometimes, as an individual, regardless of where you’re from, you have aspirations and dreams, and your career is short.

So you have to follow your heart, and if his heart wants to experience success outside Liverpool, we should wish him the best.”
