Michael Owen reveals major update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Liverpool future amid links to a potential Real Madrid move.
Michael Owen has provided a major update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him to Real Madrid.
With Alexander-Arnold’s contract set to expire this summer, rumors about his departure have intensified in recent weeks. However, on New Year’s Eve, reports surfaced claiming Liverpool had firmly rejected a January approach from Real Madrid for the 26-year-old.
Earlier, Spanish outlets suggested that Alexander-Arnold had already informed Liverpool of his decision to join Real Madrid. However, these claims were disputed by the Liverpool Echo. Meanwhile, The Times reported that Real Madrid, desperate for a right-back following Dani Carvajal’s ACL injury, were prepared to make an early move for Alexander-Arnold in January.
Liverpool reportedly issued a decisive response, rejecting Madrid’s bid. This leaves two possibilities: Alexander-Arnold leaving on a free transfer in the summer or signing a new deal to remain at Anfield, although the latter appears increasingly unlikely.
Weighing in on the situation, Michael Owen, who also transferred from Liverpool to Real Madrid in 2004, shared his insight. On Twitter, he expressed confidence that Alexander-Arnold has likely already decided his next move.
He wrote: “The fact that Real Madrid have now made their intentions clear about signing Trent Alexander-Arnold suggests to me that it’s only a matter of time before he joins them. If he planned to extend his contract, Madrid wouldn’t have made an official move. Secretive discussions will have already taken place. This is hu
ge news.”
