Trent Alexander-Arnold is apparently closer than ever when signing at Real Madrid, but Bernabeu Star and good friend Jude Bellingham has so far refused to discuss the future of his English teammate
The true character of Jude Bellingham could be seen when he refused to discuss the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool before reporting that he is closing a deal with Real Madrid. The vice-captain of Reds is out of the contract at the end of the season and is consistently linked to a summer movement to join his teammate of England in Spain.
While Madrid released an £ 20 million bid for Alexander-Arnold in January that was quickly rejected, new reports claim that a deal has been agreed with the right back to take him to the Bernabeu.
Although the defender has remained tight during the season, it did not prevent others in the football world from discussing what he will do afterwards.
A player who refused to speculate about the future of Alexander-Arnold is Bellingham, with whom he shares a close relationship.
Because only the sixth English player who represented Madrid, the midfielder was asked before he took Liverpool in the Champions League earlier this season or he could be accompanied by his international colleague at club level.
Choosing not to make his friend's situation more difficult to manage and avoid discussing what Alexander-Arnold will choose, the 21-year-old showed the respect he owns for Alexander-Arnold and Premier League Giants Liverpool in his answer.
In a press conference he said: “Would I want to play with Trent? I will be with him in the national team, so that will be guaranteed.
“He is a Liverpool player and talking about the future is disrespectful. The most important thing is to relieve pressure. He is a great friend and I wish him the very best. Except tomorrow.”
In the case of the exit of Alexander-Arnold, Arne Slot Conor Bradley has at his disposal, but a more senior replacement will inevitably be drawn up.
Reports have suggested that the Dutchman is watching Bayer Leverkusen Wing-back Jeremie Frimpong and that end is supposedly conversations with Dutch International.
Frimpong-Die has spent nine years in the Academy of Manchester City-is one of the best full-backs in world football since he signed for the ruling Bundesliga champions in 2021. With 29 goals and 40 assists in 182 games for Leverkusen, the 24-year-old certainly offers the end product from his position.
It is said that a release clause of £ 33.5 million in his contract, the Reds may be confronted with fierce competition for his signature if they focus on him, where Barcelona and Bayern Munich are connected to the signing of him this summer.
