Paul Scholes has revealed the one reason why Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool for Real Madrid - trophies.

When you’re a local lad, it’s very hard to leave your club, especially when you’ve just won the Premier League.

“He’s with a big club at Liverpool and if you’re not at a big club it’s easy to make that move to Real Madrid.



The thing he has to bear in mind is where is he more likely to win trophies for the next few years.

“I suppose Real Madrid have had a little bit of a slump, but their slumps don’t seem to last that long.

In an attempt to win the Premier League and Champions League, you’ll compete with Man City, Arsenal and even Chelsea might spend big again, so it’s more difficult to win here.

“Do Liverpool look like a team that can go on and win the league for the next five or six years?

I don’t think so yet and I might be proven wrong, but when City won the league, you thought yeah, they’ll win it again.

"But with Liverpool, you’re just not quite sure and football is all about winning trophies.

So, for Trent, it’s where he thinks he’ll win the most trophies, and you’d probably slightly favour Real Madrid, purely because of their history in the Champions League and not that much competition in the league apart from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid."
