“It is obvious that he doesn’t want to play for Liverpool anymore. Since Klopp left he has never been the same and he doesn’t feel at home with Slot. Don’t be shocked if he moved to a rival Premier League club like Chelsea, Man City or even Man United” – This is according to Jamie Carragher as he criticizes Liverpool players and issues unexpected transfer predictions.
Richard Keys has called on Liverpool to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold, criticizing the right-back for his underwhelming performance against Manchester United on Sunday.
Richard Keys has called on Liverpool to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold, criticizing the right-back for his underwhelming performance against Manchester United on Sunday.
Alexander-Arnold struggled in the 2-2 draw at Anfield, a surprising result considering Liverpool’s strong form heading into the match and United’s recent poor performances. The Reds seemed off their usual game, and Alexander-Arnold failed to deliver in crucial moments, allowing United to secure a point.
Keys suggested that Alexander-Arnold’s display highlighted his limitations at Liverpool, proposing that a move to Real Madrid could be beneficial for both the player and the club.
According to Keys, since Alexander-Arnold’s departure to Madrid next summer appears inevitable with his contract set to expire, Liverpool should consider accepting Madrid’s reported £20 million offer now and ending the uncertainty.
In his blog, Keys stated, “His performance showed that Liverpool should take Madrid’s £20m and bring the transfer saga to a close. It’s clear he’s leaving, so resolve the matter. Liverpool’s season won’t hinge on whether an average defender stays or goes.”
Keys added that Alexander-Arnold is a talented player but better suited to Real Madrid due to his skill set, as defending is not his strong point. He described the ongoing contract talks as a distraction for the team.
While Keys sees merit in the deal, it’s unlikely Liverpool fans will agree, especially as the club hopes to extend Alexander-Arnold’s contract and retain such an influential player.
