Arne Slot Explodes over Arnold and Real Madrid, Monumental Rant before the Media

One of Real Madrid's objectives in this summer's transfer market is Trent Alexander-Arnold. The arrival of the English right-back would solve one of Real Madrid's major dilemmas in their defensive line, given Lucas Vázquez's performance and Carvajal's injury.

Not everyone is happy with the constant possibility, especially through market rumors, that Liverpool's '66' could leave Merseyside this very summer. The latest to make his voice heard on the matter is the red coach, Arne Slot, recently crowned Premier League champion with his team.

When asked about Trent Alexander-Arnold's short-term future, the Dutch coach was very clear: "If there's any news, I wouldn't say you'd be the first to know". That comment isn't the only one made by the Liverpool coach given one of Real Madrid's most notorious sagas in the summer transfer market.

Arne Slot seems to be exhausted by the rumors and conversations about the future of one of the most important footballers in his squad, a key piece for the league victory this season. "As long as there's no news from us, this isn't the place to talk about his situation", states the Liverpool coach.

Highly Discussed Signing

These comments, made in one of his latest press conferences, show the discontent felt on the red side of Merseyside due to the notable development of the 'Alexander-Arnold case'. The links between Liverpool's still '66' and Real Madrid jumped to the forefront of sports information shortly after Dani Carvajal's serious injury.

Since then, the executives led by Florentino Pérez would have sponsored the signing of the British defender, due to his excellent performance and track record with Liverpool, to lead the generational change. Such a disposition, especially when many reporters consider the agreement practically "closed", bothers Arne Slot.

The Dutch coach of Liverpool doesn't hide his opinion about Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure, an operation in which Real Madrid is wisely waiting... but which generates certain doubts. One of the reasons why the white sports management focused on Liverpool's '66' is his hypothetical arrival as a free agent, thus saving a transfer.

But the presence of the Club World Cup, to be held between mid-June and mid-July, could disrupt the initial plans. Especially if the first team wants to have his football services before June 30, 2025. In that case, they would need to pay a small transfer fee, making all the waiting over the past months futile.
