Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has now detailed what he knows about Trent Alexander-Arnold possibly leaving Anfield this summer.
The England international has once again emerged as a transfer target for Real Madrid, with Alexander-Arnold being linked with the reigning European champions as a potential long-term replacement for right-back Dani Carvajal.
With Arne Slot reportedly already finding a replacement for Alexander-Arnold, there could be a real chance that the 25-year-old fullback could leave Merseyside for the Spanish capital if Madrid were to make an offer for the defender.
Yet club legend Fowler has offered some potential rest bite surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future.
Fowler hasn’t heard any indication that Alexander-Arnold will leave LiverpoolWriting for the Mirror [28/08, pg 72], Fowler revealed that he hasn’t anything behind the scenes at Liverpool to suggest that Alexander-Arnold will be leaving, with a new long-term deal being discussed for the England right-back.
Fowler said about Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Liverpool and interest from Madrid: “When you have arguably the biggest club in the world in Real Madrid tracking you and a bromance with one of their greatest young stars, it’s enough to turn any player’s head.
So I think I’d speak for every Liverpool fan when I say we’ll all breathe a massive sign of relief if Trent Alexander-Arnold signs a new long-term deal at Anfield.
I know Liverpool want to keep him and I’ve heard nothing to suggest he doesn’t want to continue his love affair with the club as he enters the final year of his contract.“But, until Trent commits the next phase of his career to his boyhood team, Liverpool are in dangerous waters.
Reds have to get a move on with tying Alexander-Arnold downAlexander-Arnold is one of the best players on the planet and an influential figure at Liverpool already despite being just 25-years-old, with the defender named vice-captain last year.
And for the Reds, they need to be doing all they can to commit Alexander-Arnold to a new contract amid ongoing links with Madrid, with the fullback simply too important to let go for Arne Slot’s side.
Indeed, Fowler’s comments on the situation are encouraging, but until real work is put in, Liverpool fans will be restless about Alexander-Arnold’s future, which has to remain on Merseyside this summer.
