Trent Alexander-Arnold Reveals Surprising Career Goal, Leaving Liverpool Fans Concerned.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, now 26, has set ambitious goals for his career, recently revealing a surprising target that has sparked conversations among Liverpool fans about his future.
Since his 2016 debut after coming through Liverpool’s academy, Alexander-Arnold has become one of the world’s top defenders, making fans hopeful he’ll remain at the club beyond his contract’s end this season.
However, the defender’s comments about his career aspirations have raised some concern among Liverpool supporters. Speaking to Sky Sports, Alexander-Arnold was asked to choose one dream he most wanted to accomplish.
His answer? Winning a Ballon d’Or.“I’d say my main target is to win a Ballon d’Or,” he responded.
I want to be the first full-back to ever achieve that.”Among other career goals offered were winning another Champions League title, winning a trophy with England, and becoming Liverpool’s captain.
Notably, the first goal he ruled out was captaining Liverpool, which some fans see as a hint he may move to Real Madrid next summer.
Reacting to the clip on X, one fan commented, “If Trent’s aiming for the Ballon d’Or, he’s obviously off to Madrid. It’s an easier league, making players look better. No one wins it in the Premier League; it’s too competitive.
Others, however, disagreed, suggesting staying at Liverpool could also lead him to a Ballon d’Or. One fan pointed to Virgil van Dijk’s close second-place finish in 2019, adding, “Van Dijk nearly won it, and I believe Trent can too—if he stays at Liverpool.
