Nathan Tella, one of the key men from their unbeaten 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign, has told talkSPORT of his excitement over the hire.

“I think it’s cool, I’m happy with the club, we all trust the club to make the right decisions and it’s another one where they have made the right decision,” the Stevenage-born Nigeria international told talkSPORT.

“Obviously people look at how his time was at Man United.

"But they forget how brilliant he was at Ajax and we look at stuff like this.

Of course in a lot of games this season he was so frustrated but he knows what we are doing.

Trent Alexander-Arnold may deserve an apology from some Liverpool fans amid fresh details of his move to Real Madrid.

That's the view of talkSPORT's Troy Deeney following the defender's hostile reception from Reds supporters ahead of his departure.

Alexander-Arnold was booed at Anfield after he announced he will leave Liverpool in the summer when his contract expires.

It meant he would join Madrid as a free agent, but talkSPORT have reported that Los Blancos will pay a €10million fee for him.

The deal, which is actually worth around £10m for Liverpool as they don't have to pay his wages, allows him to join for the Club World Cup.

Much of the animosity from Reds fans was centred on the right-back leaving without the club earning some money from his exit.

"A lot of people in the Liverpool fan base were frustrated as they were getting nothing for him.

Seeing him upset with his family, obviously, it meant a lot to him leaving Liverpool.

"But he's made his decision and he will go on to have an even [more] stellar career than what he's already had.

"Maybe Liverpool fans now will feel a little bit easier and it's an easier pill to swallow."

It's not all doom and gloom for Liverpool fans, however, with news breaking from Germany that a move for Florian Wirtz is hotting up.

talkSPORT revealed earlier this week that Wirtz has agreed personal terms with the Reds as a move to Anfield edges closer.

The Reds are in pole position to sign the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, with Manchester City and Bayern Munich out of the race.

Bayern have accepted defeat in the hunt for the talented Germany international after he told the Bundesliga champions he favours a move to Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the Citizens have ended their interest in the midfielder due to the eye-watering costs involved in a transfer.

German outlet Bild claimed that Liverpool tabled an initial bid exceeding €100 million (£85 million) for the 22-year-old.

The report adds that their follow-up offer is £100m plus £10-£12m in add-ons (€130.5m-€133m) for the Germany international.

Leverkusen are said to be demanding a transfer fee of 150 million euros, but Liverpool are hoping to reduce the total package to around 135 million euros, with a quick agreement seeming likely.

Liverpool are set to bank £10million for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid, talkSPORT understands.

Alexander-Arnold announced earlier in the month that he will leave the Reds this summer upon the expiration of his contract.

Whilst nothing has yet been made official, the 26-year-old defender is widely expected to complete a move to Madrid.

The Spanish giants, who have made Xabi Alonso their new manager, looked set to welcome Alexander-Arnold as a free transfer.

However, they will in fact be making a one-time payment of €10m to Liverpool for the right-back.

Whilst this roughly equates to £8.4m, the fee is actually worth £10m for the Reds as they don’t need to pay him more wages after May.

Madrid made an approach to buy Alexander-Arnold in January for a fee worth between €20-25m, but this move was rejected.

A Madrid statement said: "Real Madrid CF and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement that will keep Trent Alexander-Arnold at our club for the next six seasons, from June 1, 2025, to June 30, 2031.

"Alexander-Arnold will play with Real Madrid in the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States starting June 14."
