Liverpool: So, Trent Alexander-Arnold had a rough game against Manchester United. Jamie Carragher even mentioned he was lucky not to be subbed off earlier. It was a tough watch for fans.
Now, of course, the chatter about him is heating up. Real Madrid is reportedly interested, and every time he has a bad game, people start connecting the dots. Gary Neville chimed in after the match, saying the timing of Real Madrid’s interest is pretty bad for Trent.
He pointed out that being a local lad, all that noise about transfers can be a real distraction. It’s not easy to focus when everyone’s asking how you’re doing, right? Neville also called out Real Madrid for their lowball offer, saying Liverpool would never let Trent go for that kind of money.
It’s interesting because while the coach, Arne Slot, insists that contract situations don’t affect players, you know that’s not entirely true. People will always speculate, especially if Trent doesn’t perform well. If he struggles again against Spurs, you can bet the analysis will be intense.
Neville also mentioned how Liverpool has let key contracts run down, which complicates things. With players like Mo Salah wanting big deals, it puts pressure on the club. Trent’s situation is tricky because he’s homegrown, and there’s always that feeling of obligation.
At the end of the day, no one really knows what’s going on in Trent’s head. He might not even know himself. But one thing is clear: the talk around him isn’t going away anytime soon. The best way to silence the critics? Sign that new contract or step up his game.
