Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations on Sunday punctuated by a moment that sent supporters into a frenzy: Trent Alexander-Arnold deep in conversation with owner John W?

With the right-back’s contract expiring this summer and Real Madrid links intensifying, fans are clinging to desperate hope that their homegrown hero might yet commit his future to the club.

After Sunday’s 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham, Alexander-Arnold’s animated discussion with Henry became instant fodder for speculation.

Forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling interpreted the exchange for OLBG, claiming Henry urged the 26-year-old to “do the right thing” and “let them know,” while Alexander-Arnold nodded and replied, “Should I decide?” Henry’s final words-“Absolutely… let them know”- left fans convinced the owner was pleading for a contract renewal.

The moment gained traction when Henry’s wife, Linda Pizzuti, shared a photo of the pair on Instagram with the caption: “A magical moment of connection, community, hopes, and pure joy.”

When a fan commented, “Just throwing in that Trent photo,” Pizzuti responded with a lone eyes emoji, further igniting theories.

Cody Gakpo added to the optimism post-match, stating: “Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building.” The Dutch forward’s remarks mirrored fan sentiments, especially after Salah and Van Dijk signed two-year extensions earlier this month.

Alexander-Arnold, who has made 41 appearances this season despite injury setbacks, has remained coy.
Now the right-back has further added fuel to the bonfire.

Taking to Instagram today, the vice-captain posted the AXA Training Centre on his story – with the training facility specially decorated to celebrate the 20th title clinch.

Reports since January have suggested Alexander-Arnold agreed to a pre-contract with Real Madrid, lured by a lucrative deal and the allure of La Liga.

With his current terms ending June 30, Liverpool risk losing him for free – a scenario that seemed inevitable until Sunday’s interactions.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein noted a U-turn isn’t impossible, citing the emotional pull of his boyhood club.
