“Money makes the world go round,” as the famous song by Liza Minnelli and Joel Gray from the movie Cabaret claims. At some point, nobody and nothing can stay immune to a “money talks” situation, and that’s exactly what is currently going on between Liverpool and Trent Alexander-Arnold.Trent ‘The Riddler’ has another conundrumThe England international is one of the three key players who could leave the club as free agents at the end of the season, alongside Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool allegedly started talks regarding extensions with each of them, but according to The Sun, the negotiations with Trent have reached an impasse. The reason? Money.Liverpool’s contract negotiations with Trent Alexander-Arnold have hit a roadblock due to disagreements over his wage demands. With his current contract expiring at the end of the season, Alexander-Arnold has been linked to a potential move to Real Madrid. pic.twitter.com/NV2Eyjbsj6— Isaac Bukenya news (@NewsIsaac91) November 8, 2024 The defender – in whose signing Real Madrid are extremely interested – reportedly demanded a higher wage than the ones offered to the Egyptian and the Dutchman, and they are reluctant to meet his request at Anfield. Should the salary question continue to be an obstacle between Alexander-Arnold and his boyhood club, the two parties will be further away from the agreement.Some witty men say Salah owns Man Utd. Well, Trent will actually own a Ligue 1 clubTAA currently receives £180,000 (around €216,000) but expects a vast increase with a new deal, and, at the moment, Real are in a position to offer him much more than Liverpool. If he opts to follow his heart, he’ll probably stay at Anfield, but if his decision is to be based solely on the financial aspect – and it seems to be so, for now – we’ll watch Alexander-Arnold in different colours next season.ENGLAND PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 11Saturday18:00: (2.55) Brentford (3.60) Bournemouth (2.80)18:00: (2.65) Crystal Palace (3.20) Fulham (2.75)18:00: (2.15) West Ham (3.45) Everton (3.35)18:00: (2.05) Wolverhampton (3.60) Southampton (3.80)20:30: (4.40) Brighton (4.10) Man.City (1.80)23:00: (1.48) Liverpool (5.00) Aston Villa (6.50)Sunday17:00: (1.42) Man.Utd.
