Announced very close to Real Madrid, Trent Alexander-Arnold is even starting to worry former Reds players.
The future of Trent Alexander-Arnold (26) raises many questions, while his contract with Liverpool expires next June. Glen Johnson, the former legend of the Reds, does not hide his pessimism about an extension of the English right-back. “I don’t think Liverpool can do much to influence their decision, they’ve already tried everything”he declared for BetVictor Canada. Johnson points out that the Merseyside club has several assets, such as the possibility of winning the Premier League this season, but recognizes that the temptation to join a European big like Real Madrid is strong.
According to Glen Johnson, the Madrid club are the favorites in the race to sign the England international. “If Real Madrid and Liverpool offered him exactly the same contract, we would have to see what the player really wants. Trent is very professional, but the opportunity to sign for Real is definitely on his mind.”he explained. For Johnson, Real Madrid represents a unique opportunity in a player’s career. An association with his compatriot Jude Bellingham could also weigh in the balance.
A little hope if…
However, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s possible arrival at Madrid will depend on several factors, including the presence of Carlo Ancelotti on the bench. “If Ancelotti is the instigator of the transfer, his departure could change a lot of things”warns Johnson. The English full-back will have to analyze all the parameters before making his decision. “He knows what he can bring to the team and the impact he can have in La Liga”concludes Johnson. A situation which continues to fuel rumors around the future of one of the most coveted talents in Europe.
