Trent Alexander-Arnold's celebration for Liverpool has sparked speculation about his future(Image: Liverpool FC via Getty Images)

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been accused of potentially costing Liverpool an £80million payday despite suggestions he could stay with his boyhood club.

The 26-year-old's late strike against Leicester City nudged the Reds closer to securing the Premier League title with their 1-0 victory on Sunday.

Alexander-Arnold, whose contract is expiring at the end of this season, has been persistently linked with a move to Real Madrid.



Ex-Manchester United and Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster has weighed in, suggesting that Alexander-Arnold's actions hint at a possible new deal with Liverpool after Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah recently penned new contracts.

Questioning what Alexander-Arnold's celebration could mean on his 'Fozcast' podcast, Foster said: "I'm genuinely not sure right now.

If you were to sign a new deal today or tomorrow, you're in the history books of that club forever."

Despite his roots in the city, Alexander-Arnold has faced backlash from some sections of the Liverpool faithful after reports of a potential switch to Los Blancos became public.

He could have left and got the club £70m or £80m and fans will see it as an insult to them and to the football club by not getting what they could have got for him and then going off to Real Madrid to join his mate, Jude [Bellingham].

"That's how they will see it.

At just 21, Bradley has already shown promise in his performances for Liverpool this term, racking up 15 appearances in the Premier League and featuring five times in the Champions League.

Foster has warned that replacing Alexander-Arnold is no mean feat, hinting that any successor might initially struggle to match his exceptional performances.

He said: "The problem they've got is if Trent does go, Connor Bradley will probably be there at right wing-back.
