Alexander-Arnold is into the final year of his contract at Anfield, meaning he could sign a pre-contract agreement with a team abroad as early as January, and as it stands is set to become a free agent at the end of the seaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚson.
Spanish and European championಌs Real Madrid have been credꦅited with an interest in the right-back.
Yet the 25-year-old, who moved onto 100 goal contributions in his Liverpool career when he teed up Luis Diaz in Sa🦂turday's 3-0 win over Bournem🍃outh, insisted he has not made a decision on his future.
H🐻owever, the lure of winning silverware on a consistent basis is what will drive his decisio꧃n.
"The most important thing is trophies if I💙'm honest," Alexander-Arnold told reporters, as quot꧟ed by The Athletic.
"I want to win trophies. I’m a player who is highly motivated by winn🦹ing things and being elit🍎e.
"That's probably the main factor of any🌞thing. If you have a personality that's elite, who wants to win and will do anything to win then that's what drives them.
"I have been a👍t the club 20 years now. I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public. This one won't be either."
Alexander-Arnold did, at least, comm🌌i𝓀t his immediate future to Liverpool.
"I wan🥃t to be a Liverpool player this season is what I will say," he added.
"For now I'm completely focused on this season – how many goals, assists, clean sheets can I get and hopefully do enough to help us win the league.🅷"
Alexander-Arnold i🃏s not the only big name with an🅘 uncertain future at Anfield, with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also out of contract at the end of the season.
