ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

We would not be shocked if Real Madrid are genuinely interested in Alexander-Arnold. The Scouser is a top player after all.

Alexander-Arnold is a defender by trade. However, the right-back is terrific going forward.

Alexander-Arnold has scored 10 goals and registered 47 assists in 184 appearances for Liverpool’s first-team.

However, we don’t see Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool ever wanting to part ways. The reality is, the defender has represented the Reds since 2004.

Alexander-Arnold is straight out of Liverpool’s academy. The right-back has won the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League title in the past two years with the Reds.

Alexander-Arnold is winning trophies with his boyhood club. The Scouser has no reason to want to leave the club.

Also, Liverpool have no reason to sell Alexander-Arnold. As we have already pointed out, the defender has played well for the club’s first-team over the years.

Alexander-Arnold signed a new deal with the Reds during the 2021 summer transfer window, which highlights that both parties want each other equally.
