Recently, former Premier League star Thompson talked about Liverpool full-back Alexander-Arnold’s contract renewal issue when he was a guest on the BBC live show, and stated that it would be very hard to refuse an offer from a club like Real Madrid.
When talking about Alexander-Arnold’s contract renewal and transfer rumors, Thompson said, “I don’t think he wants to leave Liverpool or is looking for opportunities to leave the team, but if Real Madrid shows interest, I think it would be very hard to turn down.”
“Alexander-Arnold has already won the Champions League and the Premier League with Liverpool. When you have won so much, I don’t think you can still turn down Real Madrid.”
In addition, former Chelsea striker Salthouse also expressed similar views, saying, “There’s a reason why he dragged his contract to the last year; he needs to defend himself and say that this contract information is private. But for a club like Liverpool and a player like him, not renewing the contract until the last nine months of the term is quite unusual.”
“This is different from Salah and Van Dijk’s situations; they are after all in their thirties. This should not happen to Alexander-Arnold. Are there any clubs bigger than Real Madrid in the world? Where is he most likely to go? That would be Real Madrid.”
