Liverpool fans who lambs Alexander-Arnold because they want to leave the club do not have a good understanding of football, “said former player and expert Chris Sutton on the last 'It has all started! 'Podcast.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, is already the subject of intense speculation for a large part of this season.
And on Tuesday, Mail Sport reported that Real Madrid will be sure that he signed Alexander-Arnold for free this summer about a free-with sources in Spain that suggests that the move is 'completely ready and done'.
“Only because Trent wants to leave does this not mean that he has no great affection for the club,” Sutton told co-host and postcolumnist Ian Ladyman.
“He has been there for more than 20 years. All in all it is his choice. I think with the return – do these people have a good understanding of football?
“I think this criticism comes from KnuckleHeads. He has given Liverpool great service. He has won everything he can win with the club and now he wants to try something else. '
Trent has registered seven assists and two goals from the right so far this campaign and is an important part of a Liverpool side currently standing on top of the Premier League table.
Ladyman agreed with Sutton and added that the uncertainty that surrounds Liverpool's ability to compete for large trophies, with the contracts of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah also ending, probably played a role in changing the head of Alexander-Arnold.
Co-host Ladyman said: 'Say myself in his position, say that he has left for seven or eight years in his career, he will want to win more competition titles and European cups.
'It is very difficult to win European cups and competition titles. Real Madrid, fun or not, she always wins.
'Who knows what will happen after this season? Arsenal will come again, probably with a center, and Manchester City will be revitalized.
“There is no guarantee that Trent will remain and wins.”
A fan of Liverpool ventilated his frustrations earlier this week by burning one of Alexander-Arnold's shirts in a viral video.
Sutton said that modern players are judged too hard because they want to explore new opportunities – convicted because he is unfaithful or not ambitious enough.
“If you look at someone like Jamie Carragher, who criticizes Trent because he didn't want to be a man of one club,” argued the former striker.
'Maybe someone like Jamie has never had an offer to go to a club like Madrid. It is easy to say that he must stay in Liverpool forever because he is a liverpool boy and all these things, but it doesn't happen much in this time.
“Some people could look at the situation of Trent and think that if he didn't go to Madrid, he has no ambition.”
