Gary Neville has warned Liverpool that they have a gap of '£ 250 million' in their side as their trio of stars on the falsification of contracts do not increase their deals.
On Tuesday, Mail Sport reported that Real Madrid will remain sure that this summer he is organizing Alexander-Arnold with sources in Spain that suggest that the move is close by.
With the defender in contract in the summer – in addition to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah – he was constantly associated with the Spanish giants.
There have been no guarantees from the club that one of the three players will have their deals extended – with Alexander -Arnold now more than likely to leave.
In response, the former man United star Neville has warned the Reds that, if all three leave their stars for free, they will have trouble replacing the £ 250 million in talent.
Speaking on the stick to the football podcast, you offered by Sky Bet, he said: 'At the end of the season, Liverpool will leave a huge gap like those three players [Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold] Leave free.
'They will not have the money to replace them, and you could claim that there is a quarter of a billion pounds in those three.
'You are talking about one of the best strikers in Europe, one of the best center halves in Europe and one of the best right backs in Europe.
'Even as good as Liverpool has been in recruitment, that is a gap of a quarter of a billion pound. They have been good in recruitment so that they could replace them, but that is a great thing that Arne Slot has to do with. '
Neville also focused on Liverpool -owners FSG for their handling of the situation. He said: 'Liverpool is the only club that can lead the contract of a player to zero, but still does well. But he is [Jamie Carragher] Explained it, so it's going well.
'Three of the best players in the world have contracts that run down, but Liverpool has done that great to manage that – I am sorry, I can't accept that.
'With Trent it is unforgivable. Whether you are going through a turbulence in the boardroom or not, if you are the owner of the club and you look at Trent two years ago, even if you have a disruption in your sports department, you look at him and think: “We have to sign up, he is one of our own.”
The potential departure of Alexander-Arnold is an important blow to Liverpool, because he has not only risen by the ranks, but he is considered one of the best full backs in the world.
After attending their academy at the age of six, the defender made his debut as an 18-year-old in an EFL cup against Tottenham in 2018.
In the meantime, Mohammed Salah has been one of Europe's best players in the campaign – 32 goals scoring and 22 assists included in 43 performances so far.
Virgil van Dijk is also in good shape for defense for the Reds this season and fans will hope that the veteran defender will expand his current deal.
If he does not do that, the Dutchman could get a similar wrath of fans who has endured Alexander-Arnold in recent days.
The news that Alexander-Arnold is close to a move to Madrid sent social media in a razoria, where a fan brought their protests to a whole new level.
There was a clip on X that showed a supporter who burned the back of a shirt from Alexander-Arnold and proudly held against the camera.
It was certainly not possible to go back to the decision for the Reds supporter after the fire had created a large hole in the back of the sweater.
