According to reports, the 26-year-old defender, whose contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season, may leave the Premier League leaders as a free agent.

Despite Liverpool’s efforts to secure a new deal, Alexander-Arnold seems inclined to explore new opportunities abroad.

Spanish media suggests that the England international has already informed Liverpool of his decision to join Real Madrid, where he could reunite with close friend Jude Bellingham.

Gary Lineker, a former Barcelona player, has publicly backed the move. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Lineker said, “It makes sense.

Real Madrid has mastered free transfers, and Trent would thrive in Spain. He’s close to Bellingham and fits perfectly with their style. They won’t overly criticize his defensive skills like they do in England.”

Lineker added, “Real Madrid or Barcelona offer a unique experience. Even with the Premier League’s dominance, the world’s best players still dream of Spain.

Trent’s passing range would be celebrated there. He’s in his prime and deserves a fresh challenge.”

Alexander-Arnold fueled rumors with a cryptic celebration after scoring Liverpool’s fourth goal in a 5-0 victory over West Ham, making a “talking” gesture with his hand.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot hinted at its significance, saying, “The celebration might reveal something. He’s playing brilliantly, and I’m happy with him, as I am with Mo and Virgil. For now, I’ll let his performances speak for themselves.”

As Liverpool braces for a possible departure, Conor Bradley is seen as a promising successor. While the club hopes to retain their star right-back, the allure of Real Madrid may prove too strong to resist.
