when Slot uses Gerrard to challenge Alexander-Arnold

This is the soap opera that is likely to drive the transfer market over the coming weeks. Sparkling with Liverpool this season, Trent Alexander-Arnold could well spend the final months of his career with his favorite club. Ardently courted by Real Madrid, the England international is said to be increasingly tempted by the idea of ​​joining the White House. So much so that the latter would be ready to make an offer to the Reds this winter in order to secure his services. Despite everything, Arne Slot still wants to believe it.

Gerrard said no to Real Madrid!

At a press conference before the clash against Manchester United, the Dutch technician even took Steven Gerrard as an example to prove that it was possible to refuse Real Madrid: “I think there was one player (Steven Gerrard) that they really would have liked to have had… but he didn’t come. You know him better than me! It’s already happened” he declared, referring to Madrid’s attempts to recruit Stevie G in 2005 and 2009.

A few years ago, the main person concerned also returned to Real’s approaches: “Real wanted me to go to the standoff with Liverpool to leave. This was the only way for this to materialize. (…) I had a few possibilities throughout my career to go to Real, but I resisted the temptation because of the great connection I had with my hometown club. Maybe it’s something I’ll regret later, because I didn’t take on the challenge of changing countries. But I would have had a bigger regret leaving the club that I love. I’m a big fan of Real Madrid, they’re a special club, but for me Liverpool is the number one club.“. It now remains to be seen whether “TAA” will make the same decision as its illustrious predecessor.
