Real Madrid star makes feelings clear on Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer rumors

Madrid: So, Lucas Vazquez from Real Madrid just made it clear that he and his teammates won’t be chatting about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to their club anytime soon. It seems like they want to keep things under wraps.

There are whispers that Real Madrid is ready to shell out around £20 million for the Liverpool right-back. This comes after a tough match for Alexander-Arnold against Manchester United. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, right?

While a transfer in January seems unlikely, a summer move could be on the cards for the 26-year-old. Real is on the hunt for a new right-back, especially with Dani Carvajal out for the season.

Vazquez, who often steps in on the right side of defense, was asked about Alexander-Arnold joining him at the Bernabeu. He played it cool, saying, “You’re asking about a player who isn’t at Madrid, and that’s something I can’t answer.”

It’s interesting that the transfer talk has reached a point where Real players are being asked about it. Alexander-Arnold can now negotiate with Real since his contract with Liverpool is winding down.

Jamie Carragher hinted that Real’s interest might have been coordinated with Alexander-Arnold’s camp. Meanwhile, Arne Slot defended the player after his rough game against United, calling it just a rare off day.

Slot said, “We were all disappointed by the way we played. Not just Trent. He didn’t play his best game, but it’s not the first time.”

Alexander-Arnold was benched for the midweek match against Tottenham, which makes sense given the need to rotate players. Conor Bradley took his spot after coming back from injury.
