Liverpool: Paul Merson is pretty clear about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation. He thinks the club should turn down Real Madrid’s offer for him in January. Merson believes it’s best for Trent to finish the season with Liverpool.
He also thinks that come summer, Trent will likely head to Real Madrid for free. The 26-year-old’s contract is up, and talks for a new deal haven’t really moved forward. Real Madrid has had their eye on him for a while, and it seems they’re ready to make a move.
Plus, with his buddy Jude Bellingham already shining at Real, it could be a tempting option for Trent. He’s already got a trophy-laden career with Liverpool, winning everything from the Premier League to the Champions League.
Right now, Liverpool is in a strong position, leading in both the Premier League and Champions League. Merson thinks it’s worth keeping Trent for the rest of the season, especially since Liverpool might win more silverware.
He mentioned that spending around $25 million for Trent in January is a small price to pay in today’s football world. Merson said it’s like “a cup of tea” in terms of value. He really believes Trent is a special talent and should be enjoyed while he’s still at Liverpool.
Merson also pointed out that the last time Liverpool won the league, it was during lockdown, which didn’t feel right. He thinks the fans deserve to see their team lift the trophy properly this time around.
In the end, Merson is convinced that Trent will end up at Real Madrid. He feels that once a player’s contract is down to six months, it’s hard to keep them. He wouldn’t be surprised if Trent makes the move, especially if Liverpool wins big this season.
