Reports in England this week claimed that Los Blancos had made an approach for the full-back, which was immediately rejected by the Merseyside outfit.
Slot reveals there was a conversation with Alexander-Arnold, who will feature against fierce rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
"Do you really think (I will say)?," Slot said when asked about the conversation, as per Goal.
"I can completely understand the question that you ask it but these conversations I have never shared. Not about Trent, not about any other. It was a conversation as many others we have and let's leave it to that.
"If [interest and media speculation] it would destabilise players that other people talk about them, we would really have a problem.
"At the biggest clubs in the world people always talk about you, for 12 months long. We would have had a problem not just now but in the past six months and I don't think it destablised them at all."
