After Liverpool’s stunning Premier League title win, Cody Gakpo might have just dropped a huge hint about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club, leaving fans eager for answers.
Liverpool Clinches Historic Title in Style
Liverpool’s triumphant 5-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday not only secured their 20th league title, but it also marked a monumental moment for fans as they celebrated the club’s first title in front of a packed Anfield in 35 years.
The atmosphere was electric as Merseyside erupted with joy. Though Spurs initially took the lead through Dominic Solanke, Liverpool quickly turned the game around with goals from Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Gakpo before halftime.
Mohamed Salah and an own goal from Destiny Udogie sealed the victory in the second half, pushing Liverpool to an uncatchable 82 points, with four matches still remaining.
Gakpo, who scored Liverpool’s pivotal third goal with a calm finish, was one of the standout players on a day that allowed the Anfield faithful to finally experience a title celebration in person after the COVID-19 pandemic had prevented such scenes in 2020.
Cody Gakpo’s Comment Fuels Alexander-Arnold Transfer Speculation
As the celebrations continued, Gakpo made a comment that might have just provided hope to Liverpool fans concerned about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at the club.
The 26-year-old winger, who was sporting a ‘Champions 24-25’ shirt and a scarf around his head, spoke about the team’s future and mentioned Alexander-Arnold as a key part of it.
“Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building,” Gakpo said.
Though it seemed like a casual remark, it sent a wave of optimism through Liverpool supporters.
Alexander-Arnold, who is out of contract in June, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer.
However, he has remained tight-lipped about his plans, fueling speculation about his future.
Alexander-Arnold’s Contract Situation Adds Uncertainty
At the start of 2025, both Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk were in similar situations, with only six months left on their contracts.
However, both players have since committed to new long-term deals at Anfield, leading fans to hope that Alexander-Arnold might follow suit.
Gakpo’s words have left fans wondering if there is genuine optimism within the squad about Alexander-Arnold staying or whether he, like many fans, simply hopes the star right-back chooses to remain rather than take on a new challenge abroad.
Teammates Still Waiting for Confirmation on Alexander-Arnold’s Future
What’s clear is that, as of Sunday, Alexander-Arnold’s teammates have not received any official confirmation regarding his departure.
Further fueling curiosity, Alexander-Arnold was seen chatting with Liverpool owner John W. Henry on the pitch during post-match celebrations, adding another layer of intrigue to his future at the club.
Having played a crucial role in Liverpool’s success under manager Arne Slot, Alexander-Arnold is widely regarded as a future captain if he remains at Anfield.
As the dust settles from their title victory, fans are left eagerly awaiting news of what comes next for one of their most influential players.
