Major Trent Alexander-Arnold update emerges during Liverpool’s Premier League title parade — and fans think there’s more to it.

Trent Alexander-Arnold Update Emerges During Liverpool Title Parade, Sparking Fan Theories

During Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations, a significant update regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold surfaced, prompting speculation among fans.

Alexander-Arnold, who announced he would leave Liverpool after two decades once his contract expires, played his final match for the club in a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Reds marked their long-awaited Premier League trophy celebration at Anfield, a moment they were denied in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Though he was booed by some Arsenal fans earlier, Alexander-Arnold was warmly received by Liverpool supporters and appeared emotional as he lifted the trophy for the second time.

The England defender has long been expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, reuniting with Jude Bellingham. However, it now seems the terms may be shifting.

Real Madrid and Liverpool Reportedly Nearing Deal for Early Transfer

Despite Alexander-Arnold’s contract running until June 30, Real Madrid has expressed interest in bringing him in sooner, ahead of the Club World Cup in the U.S. According to journalist Lucas Navarrete, Liverpool and Real are close to finalizing a deal that would see the Spanish club pay €5 million to acquire him early.

This update broke while Liverpool’s victory parade was underway. Fans quickly picked up on a moment where Michael Edwards, Fenway Sports Group’s football CEO, was seen showing something on his phone to colleagues — leading to speculation that he had just learned about the deal.

On social media, fans reacted quickly. One user posted a photo of a smiling Edwards, saying, “So this is why Edwards was so happy here then.” Another added, “They wanted to pay nothing. We got €5 million. WE WON.” Others chimed in with comments like “He’s still closing deals,” and “Technically, that’s a profit.”

Alexander-Arnold could potentially make his Real Madrid debut on June 18 against Al Hilal in their Club World Cup opener. The Spanish giants will also face Pachuca and Red Bull Salzburg in Group H.
