Trent Alexander-Arnold’s decision to leave Liverpool after his contract expires and join Real Madrid next season has angered and disappointed the club’s fans.

The player came on as a substitute in yesterday’s match against Arsenal under manager Arne Slot, and Liverpool fans at Anfield booed him, sparking widespread reactions. Carragher also criticized this behavior.

However, the former Liverpool star made an interesting claim that might upset the fans even more. He believes most current Liverpool players secretly wish to play for Real Madrid, telling Sky Sports: “I think Alexander-Arnold’s teammates in the dressing room usually support each other 99% of the time.

Fans of any club might not want to hear this, but most players in Liverpool’s dressing room probably dream of playing for Real Madrid one day. I’ve been in dressing rooms where players left for Barcelona or Real Madrid. It’s really hard for the fans. You feel deceived every time: This player loves us! But then you see them leave for another club.

Players don’t think like fans. Many players in this dressing room and other teams secretly dream of playing for Real Madrid.”
