Trent Alexander-Arnold looks to be on his way to Real Madrid(Image: Trent Alexander-Arnold)<\/p>\nFormer Liverpool player and manager Graeme Souness has provided his view on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s expected move from Anfield to Real Madrid when his contract expiresTrent Alexander-Arnold looks to be on his way to Real Madrid(Image: Trent Alexander-Arnold)<\/p>\n
Graeme Souness believes Liverpool fans should give their blessing to Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> if he quits Anfield for Real Madrid<\/a> this summer. The Reds vice-captain is set to see his contract expire the end of the season<\/a>.<\/p>\n More than 40 years after Souness decided to leave Anfield to join Sampdoria<\/a> after captaining the Reds to the European Cup, the former Scottish international-turned-pundit feels Alexander-Arnold can move to Spain with his head held high once he helps Arne Slot<\/a> \u2019s team clinch the Premier League<\/a> title.<\/p>\n Souness feels his move to Italy, after six years with Liverpool<\/a> that saw him win five title medals and three Euro crowns, improved him both on and off the pitch. And he said: \u201cIt was different for me. I was 31 and was leaving Liverpool having won a lot of trophies.<\/p>\n \u201cI got a chance to what was, back then, the most lucrative league in the world<\/a>. Italy was where all the best players were.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool legend John Barnes praises Arne Slot for succeeding where Man Utd and Arsenal failed<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool star Darwin Nunez appears to delete tweet calling out Arne Slot decision<\/a><\/p>\n “For Trent it\u2019s a different story. He\u2019s 26 and he\u2019s leaving his boyhood club<\/a>. But he will come back a better-educated, more-rounded human being than what he is now.<\/p>\n \u201cGoing to another country, learning their culture, and seeing how they do things is good for you.<\/p>\n Trent won\u2019t agree with everything he sees. But you take it all onboard and when you come back you try to implement the good things you have learned. He will be richer for the experience.<\/p>\n “I can\u2019t be critical of him. He\u2019s been at Liverpool since he was six, so he\u2019s been a fabulous servant to the club he supports – and I think he\u2019ll be a fantastic acquisition for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n \u201cIn golf<\/a> terms, he\u2019s got every club in the bag. He can pick a pass from 50 or 60 yards – and they will love him in Madrid.”<\/p>\n Graeme Souness is an ambassador for \u2018Every Minute Matters campaign, a partnership between the British Heart Foundation and Sky Bet that is raising \u00a33million to get 360,000 football fans to learn lifesaving CPR.
