Trent Alexander-Arnold has 'made a final decision' over his future as he has 'told Liverpool's directors' about his next career move.
Alexander-Arnold has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with his existing contract expiring in the summer.
Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are in a similar situation as Arne Slot has remained tight-lipped over the Liverpool trio's future.
"In general, I don’t talk about contract situations here," he explained. "It would be a surprise I was the one to announce that one of them has extended. Keep asking, that’s your job, but you’re probably not going to get an answer from me.

"It’s clear that from 1 January, maybe for you guys, things change a lot, but they are in constant talks with the club and let’s wait and see what happens. As long as they keep performing like this, the head coach is happy."
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah can speak to foreign clubs about free transfers in July from Wednesday.
And a bombshell report from Spain claims the England international's future has been decided.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, Alexander-Arnold has 'told Liverpool's directors' that he wants to play for Real Madrid.
Liverpool have attempted to tie him down to a new contract at Anfield as the report states a renewal is becoming 'more and more unlikely'.
Per the report, the 26-year-old knows what Real is like, having been given first-hand information from good friend Jude Bellingham, who made the switch in the summer of 2023.
Alexander-Arnold has spent his whole career at Liverpool, having graduated from the club's youth academy.
He then broke into the first-team and has gone onto make 332 appearances, helping his side to Premier League and Champions League glory.
But a move away from Merseyside could be on the cards this summer as Alexander-Arnold appears set to join Real.
