Arnold's Celebration Hides a 'Secret': His Goal with Liverpool Leaves a Message
The player has surprised everyone with the goal scored last Sunday against West Ham at the London Stadium
Real Madrid is heading towards reinforcing Carlo Ancelotti's line-up. They are aiming to fix the setbacks the team is going through during this first part of the season. One of the chosen ones is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been news in England after Liverpool's last game.
The full-back, 26, is ending his contract with the "red" team in June 2025. Although his transfer is all set up, anything can happen in these six months left for his term to end. As in life, any scenario is possible in soccer. Anyway, it is best not to dream too much about it: Better to be safe than sorry.
The truth is that Arnold has allegedly already shared his wish with Liverpool about quitting Anfield by the end of the season and starting over at Santiago Bernabéu. The footballer has decided to make a step forward now and make himself clear with his all-time club. After all, he is a former Liverpool youth player and has already spent nine years in the first team.
Jude Bellingham might have been key to Arnold's decision. He's been helping Florentino Pérez and all of his staff for the operation. The merengue midfielder is a good friend of Arnold's, sharing the same national team. He might have convinced him to join Santiago Bernabéu.
Controversial Celebration
It happened during Liverpool's last match in the Premier League, last Sunday against West Ham at London Stadium (5-0). Alexander-Arnold played an active role in Arne Slot's rout and even scored a goal. He drew attention due to the way the player celebrated the goal, taking his hand to his head and moving it as if the hand could indeed talk.
A celebration with certain impact, even though Slot didn't find it relevant at the time. "I don't think it means anything negative," the Pool manager stated. "He's doing very well, he scored a great goal and the way he celebrated should probably tell you enough," the Dutch coach stressed. For the time being, Slot has managed to forget about Jürgen Klopp, who left the Liverpool bench last summer after almost a decade.
Alexander-Arnold's celebration had some similarities to one that Bellingham made while at Borussia Dortmund. That is, before he were transferred to Madrid. The message is as clear as day.
