Slot shuts down doubts over TAA's commitment to Liverpool

With his contract set to expire in 2025 and Real Madrid reportedly monitoring the situation, Slot quickly highlighted the importance of the England international to the team and his unwavering commitment, following a crucial goal in Liverpool's recent win over Leicester City.

Alexander-Arnold, a product of Liverpool's academy since the age of six, has become a central figure in the club's success in recent years.

Having racked up over 300 appearances and won both the Premier League and Champions League, the 25-year-old has built a legacy at Anfield that few can match. Nevertheless, his reluctance to address speculation publicly has only intensified rumours of a summer move to Spain.

Speaking after Sunday's victory at the King Power Stadium, Slot dismissed any doubts over the defender's loyalty. "It would be ridiculous if someone argues his commitment to this club," he said. "Trent has always given everything for this shirt, and what he did against Leicester is just another example of what he brings to this team."

The Dutchman also urged the media to focus on the defender's contributions on the pitch rather than his contract situation. "All the headlines should be about Trent scoring this goal and all of the incredible moments he has delivered for this football club over the years," Slot added.

With Liverpool still firmly in the title race, the spotlight on their homegrown star is only likely to intensify in the weeks ahead.
