This Monday,
Trent Alexander-Arnold formalized his departure from Liverpool at the end of his contract, which will end in June. While rumors send him on the side of Real Madrid, the Reds coach, Arne Slot, spoke for the first time since the announcement, expressing his regrets.
“Like all those who love Liverpool and who are club supporters, we are disappointed with his departure because, not only a quality human being leaves the club, but a very, very good lateral rear also leaves us”, said the Dutch technician at a press conference this Friday.
A premature departure?
Asked about a possible early arrival of the player in Bernabéu to compete in the club World Cup this summer, Slot preferred to dodge:“” (…) If he can leave earlier to compete in the Club World Cup? Do you know his next club? He didn't say anything, just that he was leaving, so it is impossible to say if he will participate in the Club World Cup … You see my smile that we all know where he is going. »»
Anyway, if the loss of Alexander-Arnold represents a real blow to Liverpool, the Batavian coach can bet on Connor Bradley to replace him. The young North Irish international has already been able to fulfill this task brilliantly this season during the absences of the number 66.
