"My advice to Alexander-Arnold would be that he is about to win the Premier League again with Liverpool, he will always compete for the Champions League with Liverpool, why would you want to go and join Real Madrid in their current state?
“It’s a mess at Real Madrid and if you have one or two bad games, you get killed by the fans. You will have no support. It’s the opposite of that at Liverpool.
“At the moment they are booing Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, Alexander-Arnold will have to play well in every single game. I wish him luck if he does go over there but at the moment I can’t understand it."
Alexander-Arnold received a mixed reception when coming off the bench away to Leicester on Sunday before scoring the winning goal.
And Reds boss said afterwards that it was "ridiculous" for anyone to question his commitment to the cause amid the doubts around his future.
“The headline should be today the goal he scored and not about his contract," Slot said. "But what I can say is it would be ridiculous if someone argues his commitment for this club.
"The work rate he has put in today to be back and score such an important goal, and all the work he has done for this club in all the years he is here, no one should, in my opinion, argue with his commitment for this club. Let the headlines be his great goal and not his contract situation.”
