US EditionPaul Merson tells Liverpool supporters how they should really feel about Trent Alexander-Arnold exit - Liverpool Echo
- Trent Alexander-Arnold, a 26-year-old England international and Liverpool right-back, is reportedly finalizing a five-year deal to join Real Madrid as a free agent, following in the footsteps of Liverpool icons like Steve McManaman and Michael Owen.
- With his contract expiring this summer, Alexander-Arnold is free to negotiate with any club, leading to Real Madrid's pursuit, potentially driven by Florentino Perez's strategy of signing superstars and the fact that Dani Carvajal, the current starting right back, suffered a torn ACL early in the 2024/25 season.
- Alexander-Arnold, who has made nearly 350 appearances for Liverpool and won eight trophies, including the Premier League and Champions League, may be seeking a fresh challenge and personal accolades, even admitting he would rather win a Ballon d'Or than another Champions League with Liverpool.
- Gary Neville has been critical of Alexander-Arnold's defending, saying he needs to get more serious about it and pointing to his inability to consistently break into the England team and frequent substitutions for Liverpool, while others highlight that since the 2017/18 season, no defender in Europe’s top five leagues has created more chances or provided more assists than Alexander-Arnold.
- The potential move has sparked shock, anger, and disbelief among Liverpool supporters, with some accusing Alexander-Arnold of disloyalty and chasing personal glory, although others argue he has earned the right to pursue his ambitions after years of service to the club, while Liverpool may be ready to move on with the emergence of Conor Bradley.
