Sorry, Liverpool fans! Trent Alexander-Arnold still set to LEAVE Anfield for Real Madrid despite mixed signals from defender and cryptic Mohamed Salah social media post

Fabrizio Romano has reported that the 26-year-old is still expected to join Real Madrid this summer. The transfer insider said the deal between Trent and Los Blancos is reaching the final stages, quashing any hope the Reds faithful may have had in holding on to their homegrown star.

The wild celebrations that came after Alexander-Arnold's winner against Leicester, and an Instagram post by Mo Salah, had set tongues wagging that the right back may end up staying on Merseyside.

Alexander-Arnold's contract runs out at the end of this season. Since making his debut for Liverpool in 2016 at the age of 17, the right back has made 350 appearances and scored 23 goals for his boyhood club.

It will be interesting to see when an official announcement on Trent's future comes out. Perhaps he's waiting for the club to sew up their second Premier League title. Liverpool can clinch the title with a draw against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
