Trent Alexander-Arnold has been at English Premier League side Liverpool FC for the past two decades, having spent his entire youth career there from 2004 until joining the senior team in 2016.
His contract is officially set to expire in June 2025, and he recently expressed his desire to leave the club if the right club offer came along, which offended a small minority of fans, some of whom even booed him when he came on as a substitute when they drew 2-2 against Arsenal on May 11.
The question being asked here is, will the crowd lose their homegrown superstar? Let’s dive straight in to find out.
Will Trent Alexander-Arnold be at Liverpool next season?
It’s looking less likely by the day that homegrown Liverpool superstar Trent Alexander-Arnold will be at Liverpool next season (for the 2025/26 campaign).
His current contract is set to expire on June 30, and the 26-year-old right-back/midfielder, who also has over 30 caps for England, has already informed the club of his intention to leave the club when his contract ends.
The main club that has been linked with Alexander-Arnold is La Liga side Real Madrid. However, they have yet to submit a formal offer for the soon-to-be out-of-contract player.
According to recent reports, Real bosses have stated that they want to sign the superstar so he can be a part of the squad when Real Madrid play in June’s Club World Cup competition in America.
What are Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club odds?
On many of today’s safest online sports betting sites, such as Qbet, which always has the latest football results and some of the iGaming industry’s most highly competitive football betting odds, the betting markets for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club have been suspended.
However, many experts have suggested that if the markets were still open for this particular market, you would probably be looking at the following average ‘theoretical’ odds for these three most likely outcomes:
- Bet type: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club. Club: Real Madrid. Odds: 1/9 (fractional), 1.11 (decimal), -900 (American/moneyline). Implied probability rate (IPR): 90.00%
- Bet type: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club. Club: Paris Saint-Germain. Odds: 4/1 (fractional), 5.00 (decimal), -400 (American/moneyline). IPR: 20.00%
- Bet type: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club. Club: Stay at Liverpool. Odds: 11/2 (fractional), 6.50 (decimal), -+550 (American/moneyline). IPR: 15.40%
- Bet type: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s next club. Club: Any Saudi club. Odds: 9/1 (fractional), 10.00 (decimal), -900 (American/moneyline). IPR: 10.00%
In other words, based on these theoretical odds and the latest stories and rumours, the most likely outcome is that Trent will join Real Madrid in La Liga. However, nothing is set in stone yet, and anything can happen in football during the transfer windows.
If he does join Real Madrid, it will be on a free transfer, and he will likely earn somewhere in the region of £220,000 (give or take £10,000 or £20,000) per week.
Final thoughts
Alexander-Arnold has won everything at Liverpool, including the Premier League on two separate occasions (2019/20 and 2024/25), the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, the FA Community Shield, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
While some fans applauded when he came on as a sub against Arsenal in the 67th minute on May 11, other fans tried to drown out the applause with boos, so his decision to leave has clearly upset some, despite all he has achieved at the club. Some have even said that it feels like a betrayal.
When decisions like this are made, it’s impossible to please everyone. It will be interesting to see what the crowd reaction is like if he does join Real Madrid and the two clubs end up facing each other in the UEFA Champions League, and what his reaction will be like if Real beat Liverpool.
We will just have to wait and see.
