How Trent Alexander-Arnold responded right after Van Dijk’s new deal was announced.
For quite some time now, Liverpool fans have been focused on the contract situations of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. In the last week, we’ve seen Salah and Van Dijk commit their futures to the club with new two-year deals, leaving just Trent’s situation unresolved.
At the moment, it feels more likely that the homegrown Scouser could be heading for the exit, rather than following the example of his two teammates who have pledged their loyalty to the Reds.
Following the announcement of Van Dijk’s contract extension, Trent was spotted liking the Instagram post celebrating the news. While it doesn’t guarantee he’s staying, it does suggest there’s no tension between him and the club captain.
Former player Stephen Warnock summed it up with, “two down, one to go,” as attention now shifts fully onto Trent. Messages seen at Anfield before the Merseyside derby hinted at some frustration among fans, who feel let down by the midfielder’s recent actions.
What happens next could be the decisive chapter in this saga — with many expecting a move to Madrid on the horizon.
Though there’s been no formal statement, the quiet around Trent’s contract feels telling, especially compared to the clear commitments from Salah and Van Dijk.
Whether he leaves or stays, the decision will be massive — particularly because it involves a player many believed would be a Red for life.
