David Ornstein has reported on the latest regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Liverpool, with the suggestion that his potential transfer to Real Madrid is getting closer.
Speaking on NBC Sports in the video embedded below, Ornstein rounded up what he’s hearing from a variety of sources, including the widely held feeling within the industry that Alexander-Arnold will end up leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer.
Euro giants make SURPRISE approach to sign Liverpool forward!
The England international is close to the end of his contract and although nothing has been decided yet, it seems there is the growing expectation that he won’t renew his deal and will leave Anfield as a free agent at the end of this current campaign…
When asked about Alexander-Arnold’s future, Ornstein said: “That is the consensus within the industry, it would seem, and certainly reports in Spain suggest that Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid is getting closer.
“My information is that nothing is decided just yet, and so we need to bring a bit of calm to the situation.
“All options remain open and that’s largely because his camp has not been able to hold any formal negotiation yet. They cannot do that until January 1st, but that’s very soon.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid now looks inevitable
Alexander-Arnold will be free to start negotiating with clubs outside of England from tomorrow, so if he’s going to stay at Liverpool he’s really taking it down to the wire.
The 26-year-old has been with LFC for his entire career so far, having come up through the club’s academy, and it’s going to be a huge blow for the fans if he decides to move on.
Arne Slot is building something very promising at Liverpool, and it’s perhaps surprising that Alexander-Arnold doesn’t want to continue being part of that, but at the same time it’s easy to see why Real Madrid would be hard to turn down.
The Spanish giants could do well to add this world class right-back to their squad, and it will be a big challenge for Liverpool to replace him and rebuild if he goes.
To leave on a free is disrespectful to the club and its fans. He will not be remembered as a loyal Red but a self centred individual not worthy of a place in the hall of great Liverpool players. Shane on him.
Exactly
These first class idiots like David the fool Ornstein thinks he knows what is going on TAA mind and his thinks agent this idiot has not got a clue what is real and what is baseless trash being thrown around by other idiots and he is just jumping on to the bandwagon and reporting rubbish as usual!
You sound so angry.
Leave the journalist alone, he’s just doing his job.
Don’t direct your anger to those who are doing their best to inform others
He isn’t the first and won’t be the last, who has thought the grass was greener on the other side. Look at Ian Rush, Steve McManaman, Michael owen, Fernado Torres, Raheem Sterling, Phillipe Coutinho. He may love life in Spain and that’s his choice, he’s a young man in an exciting situation. It’s the club’s fault for letting his contract run down not his. He could have been tied down when he was struggling to get in the England team for a minor wage rise.
No ur dead right couldnt say it better myself.they have left all contracts run down.they need to invest in the squad and pay the players like daiz more money he only on 50 a week he ll be next to go if they dont sort it out
Trent is a young bloke, entering the prime of his footballing life. Maybe he wants the opportunity, while playing football, to live in Spain, enjoy and experience the culture…and sunshine ! If you haven’t lived outside the UK and northern Europe, maybe you don’t know how dismal it is. It’s NB to remember that life is about more than just football, and that while for the next ten years the game will own him, he can do it in a nicer environment.
