When Liverpool rejected a bid for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid on New Year's Eve, the transfer story took yet another turn. Reportedly, Madrid is prepared to spend 20 million euros to convince Liverpool to trade Alexander-Arnold in January, but the Reds are unwilling to part with the player while they are vying for the Premier League title.
It has been reported in Spain that Alexander-Arnold, 26, has told Liverpool that he wants to join Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign. Recently, he has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Dani Carvajal, who is injured, at Real Madrid.
When his contract expires in the summer, the Reds vice-captain may now speak with other teams and sign a pre-contract agreement to join one. Numerous former Liverpool players have shared their opinions over Trent Alexander-Arnold's current contract status with the team.
According to Michael Owen, a former Liverpool player who followed a similar route to Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold's move may soon be finalized, giving the rumors an air of certainty. Despite these rumors, Jamie Carragher, who is well-known as a commentator and a former Liverpool mainstay, has not hesitated to voice his opinions.
Liverpool must win the Premier League in 2025 - Jamie Carragher
Carragher is well-known for his one-club career with Liverpool, and supporters who value player loyalty find relevance in his comments. "The most important thing for Liverpool in 2025 is winning the Premier League. No one’s contract or future should come in the way of that!" "I love Trent as a lad & a player, but his team would’ve told Real Madrid to bid & also would’ve known Liverpool would turn it down." "It’s to try & cover themselves when he leaves for free." "Again it’s something the club/fans don’t need with a huge game coming up," he said.
In addition to starting discussions over Alexander-Arnold's future, Carragher's remarks have brought attention to a larger issue of possible distractions before important games. Liverpool could do without the chaos of transfer rumors as they prepare for a crucial matchup with Manchester United.
