Pila has been pointing towards Real Madrid for Trent Alexander-Arnold for a long time. Even when Salah and Van Dijk agreed with Liverpool to continue at Anfield, there was complete silence from the right-back. Jamie Carragher calls it madness for Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool when the prospect of continuing is to be as big as the icon Steven Gerrard. This week, more has happened, giving Liverpool supporters hope.
Although angry supporters have given the 26-year-old a pout for leaving the club, there is no doubt what a key role Alexander-Arnold has played for Klopp – and now for Slot. On Sunday, the right-back helped sink Tottenham and dye Anfield red.

After the game, comments came from supporters, such as: “How can he leave this?!”
Liverpool’s Instagram coverage of the title celebration on Sunday consistently has no photos of Alexander-Arnold, usually a sure sign that the player is not part of the long-term plan, but the post-game comment by teammate Cody Gakpo gave supporters hope.
“The group didn’t change much from last season, so you can build on that – with Mo and Virgil staying, and hopefully also Trent, you can continue to build on that team,” Gakpo told LFCTV after the game.
