Report: Man City ‘open talks’ for mind-blowing Alexander-Arnold signing as Liverpool face quadruple exit threat

In a stunning twist, Manchester City have reportedly entered the race for Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, potentially setting up one of the most controversial transfers in Premier League history.

THE STORY SO FAR:

Liverpool’s 26-year-old homegrown star is out of contract in 2025 and eligible to negotiate with overseas clubs from January. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG have long circled, but now Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are reportedly making their move. City are said to have already held talks with Alexander-Arnold’s representatives, seeing him as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker.

Alexander-Arnold’s career stats are nothing short of phenomenal. With 85 assists and 19 goals in 327 appearances, he’s redefined the modern full-back role. Losing him would be a bitter pill for Liverpool fans, especially to their domestic rivals.

LIVERPOOL’S STANCE:

Despite the swirling rumors, Liverpool remain calm. Reports suggest the club is confident Alexander-Arnold will extend his stay, buoyed by his admiration for new manager Arne Slot. The Dutch tactician has reportedly impressed the England international with his tactical approach and attention to detail, giving Liverpool optimism in the contract talks.

Alexander-Arnold’s own words suggest he’s thriving under Slot:

“He is strict with me, I like that. He helps me with the weak points in my game and teaches me to punish opponents on the field.”

Real Madrid, however, looms as Liverpool’s biggest external threat. The Spanish giants reportedly remain in “constant contact” with his representatives and see a free transfer as an ideal opportunity to bolster their squad.

WHAT NEXT?

With Alexander-Arnold eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement abroad in January, Liverpool must move quickly to secure his future. If not, they could face the unthinkable—losing their talisman to one of Europe’s biggest clubs or, worse, a Premier League rival.

LIVERPOOL’S TRANSFER BUZZ:

Meanwhile, Liverpool’s transfer merry-go-round continues. Reports suggest:

• Mo Salah could sign a long-term deal.
• Darwin Núñez’s future at Anfield is in question.
• Brighton’s João Pedro is on Arne Slot’s radar to bolster the attack.
