Liverpool has turned down Real Madrid’s offer for Trent Alexander-Arnold, as Jamie Carragher warns of potential contract issues ahead
Liverpool: So, it looks like Liverpool has said no to Real Madrid’s interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold. The club’s not keen on letting him go, especially with his contract running out soon.
Real Madrid made a casual inquiry about the 26-year-old defender, but nothing official came through. There are whispers that Trent might be interested in a move to Spain, though.
He’s one of three big names at Liverpool, along with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, whose contracts are up this summer. All three are chatting about new deals, but nothing’s set in stone yet.
Starting January 1, Real Madrid can talk directly with Trent about a pre-contract deal. But Liverpool is focused on their title chase and isn’t looking to lose him right now.
Despite the contract drama, Liverpool is doing well in both the Premier League and Champions League. Trent recently mentioned he’s been with the club for 20 years and prefers to keep contract talks private.
Jamie Carragher, a Liverpool legend, has some thoughts on the situation. He’s not happy with how Real Madrid approached it, especially with important games coming up.
Carragher emphasized that winning the Premier League should be the priority, and he feels the contract talks shouldn’t distract the team. He believes the timing of Madrid’s interest was a bit off, suggesting it was a strategic move.
In the end, it’s a tricky situation, but Liverpool is determined to keep their key players focused on the pitch.
