Richard Hughes Phones Trent Alexander-Arnold in Attempt to Secure Liverpool Stay
Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s new sporting director, has reportedly reached out personally to Trent Alexander-Arnold in a bid to persuade the defender to commit his future to the club. With Alexander-Arnold’s current contract set to expire next year, and top European sides—particularly Real Madrid—monitoring his situation, Hughes took the initiative to speak directly with the player.
The 25-year-old right-back has not yet signed a contract extension, raising concerns among fans and club officials. Known for his exceptional skill and vision, Alexander-Arnold is viewed as a vital component of Liverpool’s long-term strategy under incoming manager Arne Slot.
Following Jurgen Klopp’s exit, Hughes is eager to keep key players at Anfield to ensure continuity. His call to Alexander-Arnold was described as a sincere and strategic move, underlining the defender’s value to the team and the leadership responsibilities he would be expected to assume in the new era.
Talks between the club and Alexander-Arnold are still in progress, but Liverpool remains optimistic. Retaining a player of his caliber is seen as crucial to the club’s success as it transitions into life beyond Klopp.
