'The intervention we've been waiting for?' - Liverpool fans all say the same thing as Mohamed Salah shares cryptic video of team-mates in deep conversation with contract rebel Trent Alexander-Arnold amid Real Madrid links

Alexander-Arnold, who has only a few months left in his current Anfield, is set to leave his boyhood club at the end of the 2024-25 campaign and move to Real Madrid as a free agent. The full-back will reportedly sign a five-year contract with Los Blancos that will see him earn approximately €15 million (£13m/$16m) per year, a significant pay rise compared to his current Liverpool wages. Amid uncertainty over the star defender's future, Salah shared a cryptic video on his Instagram story where Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai are seen talking to the contract rebel as they take time out on a sofa at one of their houses.

Salah's video sparked a frenzy among Reds fans as many of them speculated that the Egyptian attacker had organised an intervention to convince Alexander-Arnold to stay.

A fan named Conor wrote on X: "Tears they’ve staged an intervention."

Sarah remained hopeful that the players would be able to convince the full-back as she wrote: "Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold deep in conversation—I can’t help but wonder what they’re discussing. Is this the intervention we’ve all been waiting for?"

Reverry hailed Salah for organising an 'intervention' as the post read: "If Salah convinces Trent to stay with this intervention, he moves up in the all time rankings over Gerrard and Kenny."

An X handled named TjTari86097 wrote: "This looks like an intervention from planned by Salah along with Konate and Szoboszlai to convince Trent to stay."

Another fan, with the handle named trentrrari, wrote: "Literal definition of an intervention."

After the news of Alexander-Arnold exiting Anfield emerged, Sky Sports reported that his colleagues have remained 'unmoved' by the decision as they reportedly understand that his decision is not driven by footballing or financial reasons. The England international, who has been with the Reds since the age of six, is believed to be seeking a fresh experience and a different way of life beyond Merseyside.

The 26-year-old will be back in action for Arne Slot's side on April 2 as they take on arch-rivals Everton in the Premier League in the Merseyside derby.
