Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has advised Trent Alexander-Arnold against joining Real Madrid this summer transfer window.
Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move to the UEFA Champions League holders as Dani Carvajal’s replacement in the future.
However, Carragher believes the England right-back will stay at Liverpool this summer but admits that Real Madrid might come for his signature next year.
“I have always believed he would stay. It’s up for debate. He’s going to be the next captain. He’s a local lad. I always think you have that greater affinity when you’re a local player. I certainly did. Steven Gerrard didn’t go to Real Madrid or Chelsea because it was Liverpool,” Carragher said, as quoted by SPORTbible.
“You have got to remember Real Madrid have got a decent right-back; he’s just won the Euros, and I think he’s won the European Cup about six times. He is not a dud. My fear is that Real Madrid are thinking of signing him in another year’s time because I don’t think they’re ready to offload [Dani] Carvajal just yet. Maybe in a year’s time – who knows?”
