Liverpool yet to make progress on new Trent Alexander-Arnold deal

Reds yet to agree fresh terms with right-back over improved contract

Liverpool are yet to make progress on a new contract for defender Trent Alexander-Arnold despite the club's desire to tie him down to a long-term deal.

The England international is one of the most highly-rated young players in the world and has been a key part of Liverpool's success in recent seasons.

Negotiations at an impasse

However, negotiations over a new contract have reached an impasse, with Alexander-Arnold's representatives reportedly unhappy with the club's offer.

The 23-year-old is said to be seeking a significant increase on his current salary, which is believed to be around £100,000-a-week.

Liverpool are reluctant to meet Alexander-Arnold's demands, as they are mindful of their wage structure and the need to keep their finances under control.

Stalemate could lead to exit

The stalemate could lead to Alexander-Arnold leaving Liverpool, with a number of top clubs said to be interested in signing him.

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City are all said to be monitoring the situation, and could make a move for Alexander-Arnold if he becomes available.

Reds keen to keep Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool are keen to keep Alexander-Arnold at the club, but they are not prepared to break their wage structure to do so.

The club are hopeful that they can reach an agreement with Alexander-Arnold's representatives, but they are also aware that the player has other options and could leave if he is not satisfied with the terms on offer.
