Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has admitted that Trent Alexander-Arnold would flourish in Real Madrid, while speculation connects him with the Bernabeu.
Alexander -Arnold is one of the three important Liverpool stars – including Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah – whose contract ends at the end of the season and he does not seem closer to the agree of new conditions.
The 26-year-old, who has been at Liverpool since the age of six, has made a total of 342 performances for the Reds and has won almost every possible trophy-included the Premier League and Champions League.
Now the English star can be set this summer for a new chapter and former livelpool coach Benitez believes that Alexander-Arnold would be a good fit for Madrid because of the attacking football they play under Carlo Ancelotti.
“Real Madrid is an attacking team, they are the best team in Spain and they will stay the best team in Spain,” he told Sky Sports. “Even if Barcelona or Atletico Madrid is doing well, Real Madrid still has the potential, so they will always be there.
“For an attacking defender in an attacking team you have more chances to make assists and create situations in attack, and that will be good for him as a player. He does that in Liverpool, so it's no surprise, but with real Madrid You can guarantee that he will do that for years. “
Alexander-Arnold has registered two goals and seven assists in all Liverpool competitions in the midst of their bid to win the Premier League under Arne Slot this season and has consistently been one of the best attacking full-backs in world football in recent years .
Madrid, on the other hand, urgently needs a right back after losing Dani Carvajal for the rest of the season and to be forced to play Raul Asencio, Lucas Vasquez and Federico Valverde from there.
Benitez, who won the Champions League in 2005 with Liverpool and Madrid coached for one season in 2015-16, said he was torn between his two faithfulness to both clubs about the future of Alexander-Arnold.
“If I say that he will stay as a fan of Liverpool, it will be much better because he will give us something special. But if he goes, as a real Madrid, and also a fan in Spain, it will also be good For real Madrid and for him “
It comes after Alexander-Arnold was criticized by club legend Martin Lawrenson, who told him to be “a man” and admitted that he was leaving instead of silent. He said: “Saying this thing about nothing, I really don't get it.
“Just get up, be a man and say: 'Look, this has absolutely been fantastic and I enjoyed it every minute, I am a local boy, but I am going somewhere else. And you know what, good luck for You. “
