Trent Alexander-Arnold was at the center of the discussion during the international break in March, although the injury decided him from Thomas Tuchel’s first English squad.
Reports have finally revealed the inevitable, and the 26-year-old almost leaves Liverpool this summer and joins Real Madrid. Of course, the thought of the scouser, who previously went from Steve McManaman and Michael Owen, did not really like Merseyside.
Liverpool had already held two considerable strokes before the international break when they were unloaded from the Champions League and beaten in the Carabao Cup final. The Reds are now trying to move on and outside the field quickly when they chase Premier League-Ruhm.
So you can do that.
It just sounds like? Well, it could be safe.
Liverpool is already 12 points in front of Arsenal after the Gunners had won their game in hand before the international break. During your last nine games you need another 16 points to ensure the top position – only five wins and a draw from your remaining devices. The sunken points for arsenal in the coming weeks would also reduce the required total.
The earliest that the Reds can win is in the next three games, but it is more likely that they will have to wait until the end of April or early May to secure the crown mathematically – apart from a catastrophic implosion in the next few weeks.
If you handle the title as soon as possible and eliminate the nerves for Anfield, Liverpool supporters can relax to relax in the last games of the campaign and to restore this feel-good factor. Every subsequent game can be celebrated with a party atmosphere, with the view of Alexander-Arnold’s prospect for the periphery.
Conor Bradley could be seen as a long-term legacy of Alexander-Arnold’s throne, but Liverpool will undoubtedly aim to sign another right-back this summer. It remains to be seen whether this is a guaranteed and established starter or another young talent that can compete with the Northern Ireland national player.
But Liverpool has to quickly identify your transmission goals – a list was probably put together some time ago in view of the contractual situation by Alexander -Arnold – and discussions about summer trains. The English international will be extremely difficult to replace, but there are some impressive names that could help fill the gap.
Alexander-Arnold will be painfully missing in Angeld next season, especially in view of his status as a local hero, but Liverpool can still appease the supporters with contract extensions for their other stars. Both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are still free agents this summer, and the Reds cannot afford to lose three extremely influential figures in a transfer window.
Alexander-Arnold’s exit will certainly enable money for Salah and Van Dijk to be poured into fresh terms, and there is the chance that at least one of the extraordinary duo pen will put on paper.
The extension of contracts for Salah and/or van Dijk would undoubtedly increase morality among followers and the play area, not to mention how significant offers would come on the field next season.
