The vice captain of Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnoldis not worried about the growing speculation about his future and is fully focused on matters on the field, said ‘red’ coach Arne Slot. The 26-year-old English right-back has been linked with a move to Real Madrid as his Liverpool contract expires at the end of the season. The footballer said last month that his contract status would not be made public.
Alexander-Arnold, who came through the ranks at Anfield and captained the club in its youth ranks, has won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and Club World Cup, among other important honours, since his Liverpool debut in 2016. Captain Virgil van Dijk and winger Mohamed Salah are also out of contract at the end of the campaign.
“I think you underestimate our players. These players are used to being linked with top clubs every day, whether they have a contract or not,” Slot told reporters ahead of the Premier League home Sunday’s clash against Chelsea.
“If you think this interest distracts them, then you’re not doing justice to how mentally strong they are. It’s part of our job. It’s part of the world we live in. They just focus on what what they should do.” “At 17 or 18 it can be difficult for you. But Trent won the league and the Champions League; Virgil and Mo both. I don’t think it’s a problem for them to perform and that’s what we see so far, because “They play so well.”
