Liverpool legend Graeme Souness recently shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. According to Souness, the young defender may have already made up his mind about leaving Liverpool this summer. He also mentioned how new manager Arne Slot has been dropping hints about Alexander-Arnold's future.
For the past few years, Alexander-Arnold has been a crucial part of Liverpool's team, but his future at the club is now uncertain. Like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, the full-back's contract is set to expire in just 12 months. Souness believes that the fact that Slot has substituted Alexander-Arnold in each of Liverpool's first three games is a sign of the 25-year-old's desire to move on.
Souness went on to explain why he believes Alexander-Arnold would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid. He praised the defender's playing style and delivery, and also mentioned his friendship with Jude Bellingham. The former Liverpool player also suggested that the message about Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave may have already been relayed to the club's higher-ups. He pointed out that the defender's contract is running down and that if he wants to leave Liverpool, Real Madrid would be the ideal destination.
Despite all the speculation, Alexander-Arnold himself has not publicly commented on his contract situation. In contrast, Slot has previously addressed the reason for substituting the right-back early in the season. The Dutchman explained that Alexander-Arnold had a busy summer with the national team and needed to be taken care of to ensure he stays fit for the entire season. Slot also expressed his confidence in Conor Bradley as a backup for Alexander-Arnold.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Alexander-Arnold and whether he will indeed make the move to Real Madrid. Until then, Liverpool fans can only hope that he remains a key player for the club and helps them achieve their goals.
