Everton’s Former Chief Weighs In
Keith Wyness, the former CEO of Everton, has expressed his belief that Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold may soon be tempted by the allure of Real Madrid. On a recent episode of the Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness shared his “gut feeling” that the talented right-back has already set his sights on a move to La Liga when his contract expires in 2025.
Jude Bellingham’s Influence
Reports indicate that Jude Bellingham could play a pivotal role in persuading Alexander-Arnold to take the leap to Spain. The Liverpool star has remained tight-lipped about his future as he approaches the final years of his contract, joining fellow teammates Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah in a similar situation.
A Stellar Career at Liverpool
Having risen through the ranks of Liverpool’s academy, Alexander-Arnold made his senior debut at just 18 years old in 2016. Since then, he has established himself as a key player, racking up an impressive 322 appearances and earning a collection of trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
The Unique Allure of Madrid
Wyness elaborated on the magnetic draw of Real Madrid, recalling his experience selling Thomas Gravesen to the club. He noted that for many players, the lifestyle and prestige associated with playing for Madrid can be as enticing as the football itself. “To have that on your CV when you retire, it’s hard to give up that opportunity,” Wyness remarked, highlighting the unique appeal that the Spanish giants hold for young talents.
What’s Next for Trent?
As the clock ticks down on his current contract, all eyes will be on Alexander-Arnold and his potential decision regarding a future at Anfield or a bold move to the Spanish capital. The football world will be watching closely to see if Wyness’s instincts prove correct.
