Trent Alexander-Arnold could join the likes of former Liverpool stars Emre Can and Gini Wijnaldum in departing on a free in 2025.

Can Liverpool convince Trent Alexander-Arnold to commit his future?
We can understand why Trent and his camp may feel reluctant to sign fresh terms following the departure of beloved German tactician, German Klopp.
Whilst we’re confident our recruitment team has selected the right man for the job in former Feyenoord boss Slot, there remains just a smidge of uncertainty that things might not turn out in the way we’re all hoping.
Keeping the door open for Madrid, a club where success (in varying forms) comes seemingly regardless of which head coach is in place.
He’d be joining a side containing fellow England international Jude Bellingham and a World Cup winner in new boy Kylian Mbappe along with a collection of some of the globe’s top talent.
We still think Liverpool’s the best place for Trent to realise his ambitions. Hopefully, he feels the same.
