The England international is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. Unlike Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new deals in recent weeks to prolong their stay at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold has just weeks to run on his current deal. “I’ve said all season, I’m not going to speak on my situation,” Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports. “But these days like today are always special. “Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being close to winning titles as well as being in title races.
