Trent Alexander-Arnold seems more and more likely to be Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season, and Gary Lineker has called on Liverpool fans to give him a good broadcast
Gary Lineker has expressed his support for Trent Alexander-Arnold prior to what promises to be a groundbreaking switch to Real Madrid. The game of the day host is in the clouds for the English defender – even if not all Liverpool fans see it that way.
It seems more and more likely that Alexander-Arnold-Wiens will be added to Los Blancos in June with Liverpool with Liverpool. And the 26-year-old has been on the receiving side of some anti-aircraft weather of Reds fans for how the long-awaited movement happened.
Reports indicated in January that a £ 15 million offer from Real was knocked back by Liverpool, so that the club denied their last chance to obtain compensation for the player. However, Lineker claims that the decorated Premier League and the Champions League winner is wrongly bindered because Alexander-Arnold is on the edge of what Lineker regards “an absolutely fantastic move”.
“It seems that it could happen, but we don't know for sure,” he said that the rest of the rest is a football podcast. “There has clearly been an approach. And he had a little bit of fans and so from Liverpool.
“I don't mind saying that I think it would be an absolutely fantastic move for him. I think you are playing for Real Madrid something that is very difficult to reject. He has been in Liverpool since he was a child. It transcends him in a different level when you play for such a club.
“It will absolutely be brilliant for him. He is their kind of player, because they like to see beautiful, offensive football, and he is one of the best passers of the ball in the game of the world.”
Lineker – who spent three years in Barcelona – remarked further by noticing British football fans “tends to concentrate on the negative or weakness” in players, which suggests that the dynamics are different in Spain. However, other real alumni such as Gareth Bale and Michael Owen – who also left Liverpool to join Real – can disagree.
“It will be fascinating to see if it happens. I suspect it will probably,” added Lineker. He also sent a message to Reds supporters, in which he stated on the podcast (via the Liverpool Echo): “And I hope that Liverpool fans give him a really good broadcast because I think he deserves it.”
Alan Shearer also came to the defense of Alexander-Arnold for what a game-changing move could be for both teams. Extra attention is also paid to the contracts of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk who end this summer, which could purchase the efforts of Arne Slot to build on the success of his debut campaign.
“I don't get criticism,” said the Newcastle legend, whose old party celebrated Liverpool's victory in the Carabao Cup final. “He has the right to do what he wants. He has given that football club absolutely everything. Yes, he has a good salary, but he has won everything, and if he wants to challenge himself who goes abroad and plays for Real Madrid, then it is!
“They dropped an offer in January, so they could have earned money. He played, I don't know, 350 matches-like? And he gave his best. They have to give him a great shipment.
“The fans of Liverpool will say:” Aw, he should have come out and say something [to warn of his exit]. ' No! Why should he come out? He has the right to say nothing and he does not have to tell the story of what is going on. He is a person who has finished his socks and has won everything. Liverpool will come over it as they always do. “
Lineker acknowledged that many Liverpool supporters will probably still give their player a warm farewell when he leaves as expected. That said, it can be understood that some fans feel frustrated that such a valued assets has chosen to separate at the height of his career.
The potential departure is particularly moving considering the age of Alexander-Arnold and the promise that he has so much more to achieve in football. This is in line with his own ambitions while looking at success in Madrid next to good friend Jude Bellingham, next to whom he could dominate for years.
