Former Liverpool talisman, Michael Owen has reportedly claimed that only Real Madrid are capable of prising Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield.
There have been doubts over whether new head coach Arne Slot will be able to retain the team’s top players as Liverpool get ready for the new season.
Rumors about Alexander-Arnold’s future at the team have gotten stronger at the end of Euro 2024 as he was seen having fun on vacation with Jude Bellingham, a fellow England international and star of Real Madrid.
According to DAZN, Owen reaffirmed that if the rumors about Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold are accurate, the player will have to make a significant decision regarding his future. Even though it looks like the 25-year-old will at least be a member of the Liverpool team come the team’s opening game of the season on Saturday, August 17.
“With Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Real Madrid speculation, I was put in a position during my career in which I had to make a quick decision in a week or so on my future and it was a tricky one,” Owen told Casino Hawks.
“Obviously Real Madrid at the moment are the best team in Europe, they are the biggest team in the world and have that iconic kit and their players… It’s the best stage in Europe.

“Having said that, he’s so ingrained into Liverpool and the fans love him, he’s grown up with the club and it’s such a strong connection.
“It’s only Real Madrid that could make him have a think, if not then you’d have to assume he’ll be at Liverpool forever. I hope that is the case but he might have a decision to make.”
