Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has made the big claim about how Trent Alexander-Arnold and his team close to him are handling his transfer to Real Madrid.
It looks increasingly likely that Alexander-Arnold is going to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid when his contract with the Reds expires at the end of the season.
Carragher seems to think it’s now inevitable that Alexander-Arnold is leaving Liverpool, as he described it as “when” he leaves, rather than if.
Liverpool line up STUNNING €85m deal to replace big name!
See below as the former LFC defender also suggested that any talk of a bid from Real Madrid this January will have been invited by his team to cover their backs when it comes to eventually moving on a free in the summer…
Liverpool fans will be disappointed to see the Alexander-Arnold story panning out this way, as it looks like they’re about to lose a world class player, who came up from their academy, for absolutely nothing.
Will other Liverpool stars follow Trent Alexander-Arnold out of Anfield?
Things could still get even worse for Liverpool as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are also both about to be out of contract.
Like, Alexander-Arnold, these star names could become free agents in just a few months’ time, and they’d also surely have plenty of suitors if they became available.
Still, as per David Ornstein in the video below, there’s perhaps a bit more hope of those two staying…
Keeping two out of three of those star names could go down as a success for Liverpool, but the fact that they’d be losing one of their homegrown talents when he’s still at his peak makes it a particularly tough blow to take.
Still only 26, Alexander-Arnold surely still has many great years ahead of him at the highest level, and he’ll surely be a huge asset to Real Madrid.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will also surely not find it easy to replace such a unique profile of player.
