Encouraging Trent Alexander-Arnold to hold off on a move to Real Madrid, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher shared his thoughts on the transfer speculation.
Rumors have surfaced linking Alexander-Arnold with a switch to the reigning UEFA Champions League champions as a potential successor to Dani Carvajal.
Nevertheless, Carragher opines that the talented right-back is likely to remain with Liverpool this transfer window, hinting at a potential interest from Real Madrid in the following year.
Quoting Carragher through SPORTbible, “I have always believed he would stay. It’s up for debate. He’s going to be the next captain. He’s a local lad. I always think you have that greater affinity when you’re a local player. I certainly did. Steven Gerrard didn’t go to Real Madrid or Chelsea because it was Liverpool.”
Highlighting the competence of Real Madrid’s current right-back, Carragher expressed, “You have got to remember Real Madrid have got a decent right-back; he’s just won the Euros, and I think he’s won the European Cup about six times. He is not a dud. My fear is that Real Madrid are thinking of signing him in another year’s time because I don’t think they’re ready to offload [Dani] Carvajal just yet. Maybe in a year’s time – who knows?”
