Liverpool have made an excellent start to the season under Arne Slot.
The Reds are currently eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, winning 10 of their 12 matches.
Liverpool will hope to further extend their lead this weekend when they host Manchester City at Anfield.
Everything is going well for the Merseyside outfit at the moment, but they face a few issues off the pitch that need to be resolved soon.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to be out of contract in June 2025, but they have yet to agree new terms with the right-back.
According to The Athletic’s James Pearce, Liverpool are trying to tie him down to a new deal, but so far there is no agreement in place.
The 26-year-old could leave the club next year, with Real Madrid interested in hiring his services.
From January, Alexander-Arnold can agree a pre-contract with clubs abroad, and so Liverpool need to act quickly and resolve the issue.
The England international has been a key player for the Premier League giants over the years.
After coming through its academy ranks, he has gone on to make 325 appearances in all competitions, with 83 assists to his name.
He was part of Jurgen Klopp’s team that lifted the Champions League and Premier League in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
Alexander-Arnold has publicly admitted his primary goal is to win the Ballon d’Or. Therefore, a move to Madrid will likely be hugely appealing for him.
However, Liverpool can still convince him to extend his stay by offering him a lucrative contract.
