Liverpool supporters have conceded that Trent Alexander-Arnold is going to leave the football club after a new report about his contract negotiations.

According to a new report, Liverpool are £100,000-a-week short on persuading the England international to sign a mega five-year contract.

The Reds have offered Alexander-Arnold a £70k-a-week pay rise on his current £180k-a-week wage, but the right-back is currently holding out for a £350k-a-week contract.

Alexander-Arnold’s Anfield deal expires at the end of this season, and he will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs in January as speculation continues to link him with a move to Real Madrid.

Football Insider revealed that the Premier League giants have the profit and sustainability capacity to offer Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk “huge” new deals to keep them at the club.

However, as it stands none of them have put pen to paper on a new deal and could sign pre-contract agreements with foreign teams next month.

Liverpool fans are disappointed in Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool supporters have admitted they expect the right-back to depart the club at the end of the season, although some have blamed the defender himself due to how much money he wants.

Fans have claimed that Alexander-Arnold’s “not worth £300k+-a-week” as others stated the Reds should “let him go” if he’d rather be a “superstar over being the leader for his boyhood club.”

Hes unbelievably talented but if he wants to be a superstar over being the leader for his boyhoodclub then let him go.I honestly wouldn't care at all if he left hes a scouselad playing for LFC he completed his dream if he thinks the grass is greener let him find out the hard way.

We won't give him 350k a week, at the end of the day he's a right back, full backs don't get 350k a week, certainly not at liverpool

If true that he wants 350k then it’s better to let him go, he’s not worth that money, club is right to not give him that offer, we can find creative full backs who are defensively sound at the same time for a lot less, don’t want a 4-5 year expensive burden on the club

Trent is not a 300k a week player, he’s a full back, ball distribution is top draw, that’s it.
Just because he’s one of our own doesn’t mean he should be payed extra.

350k for a right back and I don’t blame Liverpool now for slowing the talks that’s a lot, 250k is enough and still way high. Love Trent but comon

Trent is probably the least in demand of the 3 Liverpool players. He should be easiest to keep. As far as Man City, I think it’s time the auditors left!😂
