If Alexander-Arnold wanted an iconic photo to mark the end of his time as a Liverpool player, he got it last weekend when he scored a dramatic goal against Leicester that might make Liverpool, coached by Arne Slot, Premier League champions next week. However, there’s another photo that might be a cause for concern at Real Madrid.

Salah shakes the internet with this photo alongside Arnold

This morning, after Liverpool’s training session, Mohamed Salah shared a mysterious post on social media. There was absolutely no caption. Just a photo with Trent Alexander-Arnold, his loyal partner for so many years down the right wing at Anfield, since one came up from the academy and the other arrived from Roma — arguably the greatest signing in Liverpool’s history. The image has stirred up Liverpool fans and reached over a million views in just a few hours.

Let’s remember that in recent weeks, Liverpool has achieved what seemed impossible at the start of the season. Right before the match against West Ham, it was announced that Mohamed Salah had extended his contract until 2027 — even though he had said back in September that this would be his final year at Anfield. The same strategy was used with Van Dijk, who signed a contract of equal length just days after his teammate Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool hasn’t lost hope

The third name on Liverpool’s list of pending contract renewals is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has long been rumored to be joining Real Madrid next season. However, nothing has been officially confirmed, and considering the recent "betrayals" experienced at the Santiago Bernabéu offices, this latest photo of Salah with Alexander-Arnold is, at the very least, unsettling. “There are a lot of good things he’ll always be remembered for if he decides to leave. But right now, we don’t know what’s going to happen,” Van Dijk recently admitted.

This isn’t the only "controversial" gesture from Alexander-Arnold in recent months. In fact, when rumors circulated that Real Madrid had made an offer to sign him during the winter transfer window, Arnold cupped his ear in celebration after scoring a goal at West Ham’s stadium. Liverpool turned down the offer, hoping to convince Trent Alexander-Arnold to renew his contract… and they’re still not giving up. “These days are special. Scoring goals, winning titles… it’s special to be a part of this,” said Arnold after his goal against Leicester.
