How Liverpool failed to agree new Trent Alexander-Arnold contract extension

It was reported that Trent Alexander Arnold rejected a new contract for Liverpool that would have come with an increase in “important” wages, confirming that the money was not the catalyst behind his decision to leave Anfield this summer.
