Why 17%?

The Index reckons Alexander-Arnold stays (63%). It’s not all one-way, though: Liverpool have gone off the idea. Chelsea are still in the hunt at 17%. There’s not much to go on yet, so treat it as a ballpark.

The Index’s official wording, as recorded

The Index makes staying the most likely outcome at 63%. Against a move: Liverpool cooled their interest. Chelsea remain a live alternative at 17%. Evidence is thin, so treat this as a range rather than a firm number.
