Glen Johnson believes Trent would choose Liverpool over Real Madrid if offers were equal
Liverpool: Former Liverpool player Glen Johnson has shared his thoughts on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future. He thinks Trent would likely stay at Liverpool if the offers from the club and Real Madrid were the same.
Trent’s contract situation has been a hot topic lately. He’s in the last six months of his deal, which means he could leave for free if nothing changes. Recently, Real Madrid made a £20 million offer for him, but Liverpool turned it down. Now, Trent can talk to other clubs about a pre-contract.
Johnson believes that if Liverpool can match any offer from Madrid, Trent would choose to stay. He’s been with the club since he was six, after all. But he also pointed out that Madrid has a huge appeal. Many players dream of playing there, and Trent has already won a lot with Liverpool.
He mentioned that the criticism Trent faces in England might make a move to Madrid tempting. There, he wouldn’t have to deal with as much pressure, and the lifestyle is pretty sweet too. Johnson was surprised that Trent’s contract situation has dragged on this long, saying it should have been sorted out earlier.
Even after a tough game against Manchester United, Johnson doesn’t think the contract talks affected Trent’s performance. He believes that big matches like that grab your full attention, regardless of outside noise. Good players can have off days, and that’s just part of the game.
In the end, Johnson thinks this kind of speculation is common in football. Players often hear rumors about their future, but it doesn’t always make the headlines. He believes it all comes down to how each player handles the pressure and speculation.
