WHAT HAPPENED?

Speculation has built up over Alexander-Arnold's future as he is now into the last year of his Liverpool contract. He is yet to sign a new deal and if the defender doesn't extend his Anfield stay, the Reds academy product can speak to European teams about a transfer in January. It remains to be seen if new manager Arne Slot can convince him to sign a new deal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The former Feyenoord boss, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arne-slot-joins-liverpool-reds-confirm-appointment-of-dutchman-as-jurgen-klopp-s-successor-at-anfield/blt9d784afe0fa57a8d" target="_blank">succeeded Jurgen Klopp</a> as Liverpool manager earlier this summer, spoke to Alexander-Arnold before the Euros and made it clear he is delighted to have him back.He told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5681122/2024/08/05/arne-slot-liverpool-transfer-news/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>: “We didn’t speak about his commitment, we only spoke about the way I wanted him to play and how he could fit in that style. He was mainly focused on the Euros at that moment we spoke and I saw some clips from people recently showing me that he looks really fit and sharp. I can’t wait to see him train."

WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID

Slot and Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool round off their pre-season campaign against Sevilla on Sunday at Anfield, before kickstarting their Premier League season away to newly-promoted Ipswich Town on August 17.
