Liverpool fans urge Slot to bench Arnold, strip vice-captaincy as RMA circle

Fans of Liverpool were touched by Trent Alexander-Arnold after he came closer to Real Madrid.

Alexander -Arnold, 26, has been the subject of intense speculation for a large part of this season, with the defender – in addition to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah – from contract at the end of the campaign.

Liverpool has remained in negotiations with all three stars, but no breakthrough was made when the months tap and the trio could talk to overseas clubs about a free transfer from January.

Alexander-Arnold is heavily connected to Real during the Saga during his future and the Spanish giants had rejected an £ 20 million bid for the 26-year-old in January.

And on Tuesday Mail Sport really reported confidence in signing Alexander-Arnold this summer on a free-with sources in Spain that suggests that the move is 'completely ready and done'.

The news comes as a big blow to Liverpool and various fans then continued to smoke with their own soil defender.

In fact, many went to social media to express their indignation and claimed that Arne Slot Alexander-Arnold would now freeze the rest of 2024-25.

One said: 'I would personally drop Trent for the rest of the season. Don't let him be part of the end of the season. Don't let him say goodbye.

“I don't even have him on the couch. Don't let him be part of the title celebrations or Parade. Let him look at the team from home. '

Another smoking supporter agreed and added: 'Don't let him play another game. Don't even let him in Anfield when we cancel the title. '

An extra fan brought in with: 'Bench Trent for the rest of the season', with a further supporter who says: 'Does Trent start in the rest of the 9 games? I know he's injured, but will he ever play for LFC again? I don't think so. '

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.

Since then he has gone 349 performances and has been a cornerstone in the enormous success of Liverpool in recent years.

Alexander-Arnold has scored 22 goals about his time in Anfield and added 87 assists.

In the meantime, the defender – who has won eight trophies with his boy's club – was appointed vice -captain in the summer of 2023.

In recent times he was challenged in his position by Conor Bradley and various fans found that Alexander-Arnold this season should be replaced by the Northern Irish in the remaining competitions while they also called to be stripped of the vice-capainty.

“I said it before I would give Bradley (if he is fit) every last minute at that pitch and Trent left on the couch for the rest,” a fan joked.

“Wouldn't be surprised if Trent would never play for @LFC (regardless of his fitness),” added another fan.

'Won it all, but switch to Madrid to a free, not straight with me. Can see a play income. Was quoted and wanted to be our captain at the start of the season. '

In the meantime, a final supporter said: “Seriously talked. Slot should give the vice -capincy to someone else and Trent has to hold the bank for the rest of the season.

'Bradley is now the starter. If you no longer want to wear the badge, you shouldn't keep playing, it's that simple. '

Mail Sport had reported in December that Real was certain that Alexander-Arnold would be their husband and planned for life with the English international in their team.

That trust has only been intensified since then, although sources close to Liverpool suggest that they have not yet had an indication that a deal has been completed.

Real Madrid is legally permitted to talk to Alexander-Arnold since 1 January and has done this-so that his contract with Anfield ends in June.

Mail Sport understands that those in the Spanish capital have long expected that Alexander-Arnold would participate, but Florentino Perez wanted to respect Liverpool, so I didn't want to make news public.

But sources in Madrid think that completing a movement is now a matter of a formality at this stage.
