He’s departing for free will make matters worse
The fact that he’s departing for free will make matters worse in addition to losing a talented player to a competition from Europe.
Throughout the 2024–25 season, the Reds have been attempting to persuade their star full-back to sign a new contract, but the player has been adamant about stepping outside of his comfort zone in his native country and taking on a new challenge. It now appears that Alexander-Arnold will finish out his current contract and move to Madrid this summer.
From an exciting young talent to a world- class player
Trent-Alexander Arnold is a special player that has grown from an exciting young talent to a world- class player in the span of 4-5 years. He has described his ambitions of winning the Ballon D’or in his career and according to him Real Madrid is where his aspirations will come true.
Los Blancos would also feel delighted as after the departure of Toni Kroos, there has been no creative outlet to dish out amazing crosses and passes to the speedy frontline. His inclusion would solve this problem and would also be a permanent right-back as Dani Carvajal has been injured with ACL and does not have age on his side. The output from makeshift full-backs are good but only a player like Trent can use the position to its optimum.
