Agreed Real Madrid transfer is only 'obvious reason' for Slot taking off Liverpool star – Souness
Graeme Souness cases the only “identifiable determinant” for Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold being substituted versus Manchester United.
The England global was noticeably irritated at being confiscated off for Conor Bradley in their 2-0 triumph over the Bees in their second Premier League suit of the period.
But brand-progressive Liverpool honchos Arne Slot tinkered down any go versus after that suit and insisted that the Premier League nightclub have to confiscate treatment of his fitness after Euro 2024.
Slot said: “He didn’t appearance that overjoyed being confiscated off, I realise.Every player wants to play 90 mins but I wear’t assume the players that were on the bench from the start were in fact overjoyed via the recourse I channeled out.
“But Trent came previously from the nationwide team wherein in the start of the tournament he tinkered pretty a heap then he didn’t, possessed a few weeks off, came previously – this was only his 3rd video game.
“We have to confiscate treatment of him since we last offer him for the whole period and not only for the initially 2 arcades. The dreamy thing for me is I have a improperly dreamy previously-up via Conor. That ways we are swiping treatment of Trent but he tinkered a dreamy video game.”
Alexander-Arnold is currently until the final year of his agreement at Anfield via speculation constructing that Real Madrid are engrossed in signing the Liverpool defender on a emission transfer forward of next off summertime.
And also he was confiscated off once more versus Individual Utd in the Reds’ 3-0 win over their arch-adversaries and Souness reckons the only sensible explanation is that the Liverpool academy grad is off to Real Madrid.
Souness notified William Hill’s brand-progressive podcast, Three Upwards Front: “Trent Alexander-Arnold is tailor-channeled out for Real Madrid in terms of the means he plays, and he’s obtained an unconscionable distribution – not to reference he’s dreamy colleagues via Jude Bellingham. He could run out up at Madrid and that post might currently have been relayed to Liverpool.
“I wear’t explore any identifiable determinant to confiscate Trent off versus Manchester United, other than if they realise he’s fleeing. They’d still want to retain him on side for the rest of the period and he’ll go for emission at the run out of it.
“The post that he’s channeled out up his psyche might currently have been relayed to the better-ups at the nightclub. He’s dashing his agreement down. If you’re going to discard Liverpool, wherein else other than Real Madrid can you in fact attend much closer on your own?”

Souness included: “Arne Slot brought Conor Bradley off the bench versus both Brentford and Manchester United. He’s a ideal player. Slot might have merely thirsted to posture him a feel for what it’s favor to play at Ratty Trafford, to retain him onside. He’s ephemeral on Bradley a few mins and merely rendering sure he’s overjoyed.
“He’s without a vacillation swiping a dreamy appearance at Bradley. It’s onward decoction from Slot. He’s been notified he’s dreamy enough for the initially team and he wants to explore that for himself.”
Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are in enhancement out of agreement next off summertime and Souness insists the last could in enhancement flee for Real Madrid.
Souness proclaimed: “Liverpool can’t make it feasible for all 3 of Trent, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk discard. I could explore Trent at Real Madrid, I could explore Van Dijk there as well. The point being that if you’re fleeing Liverpool then the only enfranchisement you’d in fact want to go is Madrid. Van Dijk might be receiving elder but he’s an specialist athlete. You can still lug out intake of a pair extra dreamy years out of him.
“He’s a much closer player than what Real currently have in the cherishes of Antonio Rüdiger. He’s extra of a footballer, he’s a much closer specialist athlete, much closer in the undertone and much closer on the sphere. I wouldn’t even contrast the 2.”
