Arne Slot Fights Back Against Real Madrid Over Alexander-Arnold Case and Warns

The Words with Which Arne Slot Has Made the Situation with Real Madrid Clear

Planning all their moves for the next transfer market, Real Madrid is close to succeeding in a deal. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who remained one of Real Madrid's great desires, is close to joining the club. After several months of negotiations, the Liverpool full-back has decided to make a change of scenery.

In this situation, Arne Slot has provided countless comments trying to ensure Arnold's presence. Recently, after being questioned again about Real Madrid, Slot spoke again on the subject. "We have never focused on external conversations," were his words to avoid talking about Real Madrid.

In addition to this, Slot also commented on Arnold's current state, who has been absent from Liverpool. "Unfortunately, he's injured. That means he's completely focused on his recovery," he mentioned to dispel doubts.

Alexander-Arnold's Signing

At 26 years old, Alexander-Arnold is one of the best right-backs in the world. Throughout the 9 seasons he has played with Liverpool, Arnold has developed his talent to an unimaginable point. Although Slot sought to keep him on the team longer through a contract renewal, Arnold knows what he wants for his future.

Despite the words with which Slot has tried to avoid talking about Real Madrid, the situation is more than evident. Aware that Arnold will be a Real Madrid player for the next season, he has had no choice but to try to ignore this fact.

A questionable attitude but one that, given the circumstances, can be understood because he will lose one of his best players. Although his words about the injury hinted that Arnold could stay at Liverpool, this is unlikely to happen.

Being the great favorite to win it all this season, Slot has lost more than he could count in recent months. Despite the confidence to fight for everything again next season, Arnold's signing by Real Madrid will be a tough blow.
