Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold remains silent about his future at Anfield amid ongoing rumors about Real Madrid.
He immediately shifted the talk that the victory over Leicester City on Sunday, April 20, 2025, would always be special.
Alexander-Arnold started the bench against Leicester as he tried to recover from an ankle injury.
He entered in the 71st minute and led Liverpool to victory just five minutes later, scoring goals which made his team only need one more win to win the Premier League title.
ESPN previously reported that Real Madrid is optimistic it will secure an agreement for Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires this summer.
"I've been saying all season that I'm not going to talk about my situation. I'm not going to go into the details," he told Sky Sports after the game.

"However, days like today are always special. Scored goals, played, won matches, won titles - it was a special moment for me. I am happy to be able to do my part."
Regarding his celebration in front of Liverpool supporters, Alexander-Arnold added that it was for supporters.
"Just as we do for ourselves and our families, we also do for supporters."
"They are the people who travel to the game and spend their money. So, that's the least they deserve to see us give 100 percent on the pitch and win games."
"So, seeing us so close, some of us, with the title of second league and for the others the first, especially in the presence of supporters, which is something we haven't got so far, it's very special."
"Virgil (van Dijk) pushed me forward to enjoy it, approach and get to know each other."
"The fans have been amazing again this season, they have pushed us in every game until the last minute."
"They have done it again today to help us win the game," he said.
With team-mates Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah having signed new contracts in recent weeks, speculation about Alexander-Arnold's future continues to grow.
However, head coach Arne Slot said after the match that the defender's commitment to Liverpool should not be doubted.
"The main news today should be a goal he scored and not about his contract."
"However, it would be ridiculous if someone debated his commitment to this club."
"His work ethic. No one can debate his commitment to this club, but the main news is his great goal and not his contract," said Arne Slot.
Liverpool can confirm the Premier League title as early as Thursday, April 24, 2025, if Arsenal fail to beat Crystal Palace.
Another scenario, they can secure a league title on Sunday, April 27, 2025, with home wins over Mikel Arteta's Tottenham and the Gunners winning in the middle of the week.
