On Saturday morning, Liverpool followers woke as much as a entrance web page from the print version of Marca which claimed that the Reds’ vice-captain desires to hitch the Champions League holders and has knowledgeable the Anfield hierarchy of his obvious needs.
Nevertheless, sources nearer to house point out that the 26-year-old has achieved nothing of the type and that his sole focus proper now’s on serving to his boyhood membership to win silverware this season.
Trent rumours performed down by native sources
Following these stories from Spain, Theo Squires wrote within the Liverpool Echo: “Cue mass hysteria. Or maybe not. The ECHO understands that as issues stand, Alexander-Arnold has not communicated to Liverpool that he has chosen to hitch Actual Madrid.
“Consequently, from an out of doors view at the very least, the full-back’s future stays up within the air forward of the January switch window opening and the primary alternative for a pre-contract settlement to be signed.
“For his half, Alexander-Arnold has at all times insisted that he won’t talk about his future in public out of respect for his boyhood membership. However he has been clear that he needs to see out the marketing campaign with the Reds.”
Trent has a large choice to make
In the identical article, Squires additionally pointed to a report from The Telegraph‘s Chris Bascombe by which it was said that Trent is constant talks with Liverpool over a possible new contract (as per his ‘desire’) and that membership chiefs are ‘relaxed’ in regards to the scenario.
That makes two dependable sources near the Merseyside membership who’ve successfully debunked the wild stories from Marca that the 26-year-old desires out of Anfield and solely has eyes for the Bernabeu.
It’d be very a lot comprehensible if the right-back have been giving critical consideration to becoming a member of Actual Madrid, a possibility which isn’t afford to many gamers in world soccer, however the probability to grow to be an all-time nice along with his native crew certainly isn’t one he’d wish to surrender too simply.
It seems as if the Trent saga may run for an additional few weeks but as he thinks lengthy and arduous about what’s finest for his profession.
The one recommendation we may give him is that he’d be simply one other cog within the machine on the Bernabeu, the place the stress to carry out may be suffocating; however staying at Liverpool would nearly guarantee him legend standing for generations to come back.
