I understand why Liverpool fans are sad and even angry at thinking about leaving Alexander-Arnold – All supporters want to see local boys coming at the club, and never want to see they are sold.
I feel that it is the fact that he goes to a freedom that has made the most uncomfortable, but that situation is for Liverpool and Alexander-Anold.
We don’t know why his contract is allowed to get off – or whether it’s going back to him or the club – but that’s something Liverpool with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, as well as in the past with Giorginio Winnasnallum and Roberto Fermino.
Nobody seems to have said much about other players who have contracted, only Alexander Arnold. I think this is because he is a local boy who feels a little unfair.
Alexander Arnold has been a great servant for the club, so you can’t protect yourself and want to try something new.
It’s not just a shame for Liverpool fans if he leaves because you want to see the best players in the Premier League, but if he goes to Real, I wish him good.
I still saw it as I see, just because there is a conversation on the transfer, it doesn’t mean it’s going on.
It is well known that some United fans outside my home protested when they thought I was going in 2010, but until then I agreed on my new contract.
Alexander Arnold hasn’t signed anything with Real, and I’m not surprised if even after all these talk, he would eventually stay in Anfield after everything.
Before a contract is signed, many things can happen – I think it’s experienced.
