Real Madrid Confidencial Liverpool Legend Gives Surprising Advice to Alexander-Arnold: He could...
Jamie Carragher has suggested the winger renew his contract to include a clause that allows him to leave money in coffer
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has caused a stir with his comments regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold's future. In a recent interview, the former player offered some unexpected advice for both the player and the club.
Carragher suggested that Alexander-Arnold should consider renewing his contract with Liverpool, but with a realistic termination clause. This, he believes, would allow the player to keep his future options open. "If I could offer Trent one piece of advice, it would be to sign a deal and secure a release clause," Carragher said.
The clause would allow Liverpool to make a symbolic financial gain if Real Madrid is still interested in the winger, and would also ensure Alexander-Arnold leaves the club with an unblemished reputation.
"That way, if Real Madrid is still keen, Liverpool could get some money. Then Trent will always be remembered as Liverpool's best winger," the former defender explained.
It can be free
Carragher also addressed the treatment of homegrown players compared to foreign stars. He said Alexander-Arnold deserves to be valued regardless of what he decides about his future. " He deserves to be liked no matter what happens, but he will be more respected than liked if he leaves this summer," he added.
The former player pointed out that local footballers, like Trent, are often judged differently to international stars. " That's just the way it is," Carragher concluded, making it clear that his advice is intended to protect both the player and the club.
Alexander-Arnold, aged 25, remains one of Liverpool's key players. However, rumors of his possible move to Real Madrid have intensified in recent months.
The Whites are reportedly interested in the full-back as part of their plans to strengthen their defense. Even more so when we take into account that he would arrive on a free transfer fee.
Alexander-Arnold's future remains uncertain. For now, his priority seems to be to stay focused on Liverpool. However, Carragher's words could influence his decisions and the negotiations between player and club.
This advice not only reinforces Alexander-Arnold's importance to Liverpool. It also underlines how managing his future could be key to preserving his legacy at Anfield.
