Liverpool fans: Alexander-Arnold ‘is going’ to Real Madrid as new clip emerges
Liverpool fans are convinced Trent Alexander-Arnold is preparing to make the move to Real Madrid after footage emerged from their win v Brentford.
Arne Slot’s first match at Anfield saw an impressive 2-0 win courtesy of goals from Luis Diaz and Mohammed Salah as their perfect start to the season continued.
However, the game was overshadowed by controversy surrounding their right-back after footage of his reaction to being taken off emerged.
Upon leaving the pitch in the 72nd minute, Alexander-Arnold showed visible frustration towards the boss, appearing to sulk on the bench.
As reported by Football Insider earlier this summer, Real Madrid are looking to make him their latest Galactico signing and are exploring a deal for when his contract expires next year.
As the footage emerged on social media, fans have hit out at the defender for his reaction – with some suggesting he no longer wants to be there.
Liverpool fans are convinced Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving after Arne Slot bust-up
Being taken off with around 20 minutes to go while his team were leading 2-0 isn’t anything shocking. It’s set to be a long season for the Reds, and Slot will want to keep his best players fresh.
However, Alexander-Arnold’s seemingly over-the-top reaction to his substitution raised red flags amongst supporters.
Football Insider revealed on 10 August that Liverpool are attempting to tie him down to a new long-term contract, rather than let him leave for free next summer.
However, there have now been suggestions on social media that the right-back is looking to push through a move to Real Madrid, with some convinced that the deal is already in motion.
In other news, Liverpool have bagged an extra £20m+ after a new deal was confirmed.
