Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel believes Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid when his contract expires this summer. Softfootball reports the England international continues to be heavily linked with the Spanish giants as uncertainty surrounds his future at Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold will be free to negotiate with overseas clubs and Madrid remain favourites to sign the defender, who has spent his entire senior career with Liverpool and won every major trophy available.
Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel admitted he expects the move to happen despite Liverpool’s efforts to keep the right-back.
Liverpool is a giant football club, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid. When you look at Trent, he oozes Real Madrid. I see him going there.
While Liverpool remain hopeful of agreeing fresh terms, speculation continues to grow as the end of his current contract approaches. Losing Alexander-Arnold would mark the end of an era for the Reds after years of remarkable success with the academy graduate.
