Real Madrid’s midfielder Jude Bellingham has finally broken the silence about his England teammate joining Los Blancos after a lot of rumors going around in the last weeks.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool is running out and the player will be a free agent in the summer of 2025 if the club’s board decides to not extend his contract. The same situation is with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah who are waiting for the board to make their move so they could stay at Anfield for more years.
Before the Champions League clash of Liverpool against Real Madrid, the 21-year-old had some words to say in the press conference on Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving his boyhood club.
The midfielder was questioned if he would like to play with Liverpool’s vice-captain and he said that they already play together in England’s National team so sharing the pitch together is a guaranteed thing.
Jude Bellingham continued saying that it’s a bit disrespectful to talk about Trent’s future because he is a Liverpool player at the moment and putting a lot of pressure on him wouldn’t be a nice thing.
English midfielder finished the topic by saying that they are great friends and he wishes all the best towards the right-back, except tomorrow.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has returned to Liverpool’s training ahead of the Champions League night at Anfield after missing England’s matches during the international break and the match against Southampton in which Arne Slot’s boys made a great comeback against Southampton by winning the game with a result of 3-2.
Reds’s vice-captain was injured against Aston Villa, 25 minutes after the kick-off and he has been unavailable for the country and the team since then. His return before this important match will be a huge boost for Arne Slot, who hopes to keep their Champions League perfect form alive after winning all four games.
The Dutch manager has reported to the press that Trent Alexander-Arnold won’t be able to start from the first minute, but he can have some minutes depending on how the match goes.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side will miss Vinicius Junior who picked up an injury and won’t be available for Los Blancos for around three weeks. It’s expected that the new summer signing Kylian Mbappe will replace the Brazilian on the left-wing after scoring a goal in his last match in the 3-0 win against Leganes in La Liga.
