Liverpool Falls to Tottenham in Cup Semi-Final

Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Liverpool is in question as he enters the final months of his contract, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in acquiring him in the summer. Despite a lackluster performance against Manchester United, he received a supportive reception from Liverpool fans during the Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham, highlighting their desire for him to stay. Liverpool manager Arne Slot explained his decision to bench Alexander-Arnold, emphasizing the need for rotation due to player fatigue. Meanwhile, speculation surrounding a possible move to Madrid intensified after Liverpool rejected an approach from the Spanish giants on New Year's Eve. Former Liverpool player Stephen Warnock believes Alexander-Arnold may ultimately leave for Madrid, although the decision remains uncertain. The coming weeks will be crucial for the full-back's future amid ongoing contract negotiations.
