Now, it is believed that the full-back and the club are very eager to sit down and hold talks to extend his time at the club.

Trent Alexander-Arnold makes new Liverpool deal top priority

However, sources have told Football Insider that while Alexander-Arnold is flattered by links with the European giants, he has made staying at his boyhood club his number-one priority,

Alexander-Arnold joined the Reds aged six and his current contract, which reportedly earns him £180,000-a-week, is set to expire in the summer of 2025.

It is believed that Michael Edwards’ return to the club as FSG’s new CEO of football and Richard Hughes’ arrival as the new sporting director this summer will pave the way for the defender to pen a new deal.

Football Insider also revealed last month (11 February) that he is set to be offered the “biggest” and “longest-term deal” out of stars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

He is still out injured with a knee injury he picked up against Burnley last month (10 February) but is reportedly set for a return to training in the next two weeks.
