Liverpool legend reveals why Reds star would be the perfect signing for Real Madrid
Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has entered the final year of his contract with the club.
The defender has been linked with a move away from the club with Real Madrid mentioned as his next possible destination.
Following the departure of Jurgen Klopp from Anfield and the player’s current contract situation, he has been linked with the Champions League winners.
Alexander-Arnold has started the new season in fine form after his failure to cement a place in the starting line up for England at Euro 2024.
However, with his form and performances this season, he has shown why Gareth Southgate made a mistake not starting him for the Three Lions this summer.
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has discussed the future of the right-back and why he would be the ideal signing for the Spanish giants.
While talking to Simon Jordan and Troy Deeney on the Up Front Podcast, Souness delivered his verdict.
“Trent Alexander-Arnold is tailor-made for Real Madrid in the way he plays, he has an incredible style,” Souness said.
“Not to mention, he is good friends with Jude Bellingham. He could end up at Real Madrid. He would only leave Liverpool for Real Madrid,” Souness added.
If Real Madrid can manage to sign the Liverpool star for free, it would be one of their best bit of business.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the English defender, who has been a key member of the club’s successful team under former manager Klopp.
Liverpool right-back would fit like a glove at Real Madrid
Los Blancos are looking for a new right-back with Dani Carvajal not the same player as he was before and Alexander-Arnold would be his ideal replacement due to his attacking playing style.
Liverpool cannot afford to lose the right-back any time soon and particularly not for free.
He is one of their most prized assets and even if he decides to leave, it should get Liverpool a hefty amount of money.
The lure of Real Madrid is difficult to avoid and if by January the defender has still not signed a new contract at Anfield, the La Liga giants could engage in talks with the player to unite him with his friend Jude Bellingham at Santiago Bernabeu.
