Trent Alexander-Arnold’s absence due to injury has spared Liverpool fans from more media coverage about his friendship with Jude Bellingham. The two players have a close relationship, which is often highlighted on social media. Despite the bromance content, Alexander-Arnold has expressed his desire to captain Liverpool, but his contract situation remains uncertain.
Recently, Alexander-Arnold posted a picture on Instagram with Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso, sparking speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid. With reports of Carlo Ancelotti’s potential departure from Madrid and Alonso possibly leaving Bayer Leverkusen, the pieces seem to be falling into place for Alexander-Arnold to make a move to Spain.
Real Madrid is in need of a new right-back, and Alexander-Arnold’s skill set aligns with what the team is looking for. However, there are concerns about the backlash he may face from Liverpool fans if he decides to leave. Despite the sentimental attachment to his local roots, the allure of playing for a prestigious club like Real Madrid may be too strong to resist.
If Alexander-Arnold does not sign a new contract with Liverpool before January, Madrid could make a move for him next year. While the player has stated his commitment to finishing the current season with Liverpool, the links to Real Madrid are gaining traction. The potential appointment of Alonso at Madrid could further entice Alexander-Arnold to make the switch.
Ultimately, Liverpool may have to come to terms with the possibility of Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid and reuniting with Bellingham. The Instagram posts and social media speculation may just be the beginning of a new chapter in Alexander-Arnold’s career.
