There are plenty of raw emotions surrounding Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold's imminent exit from Anfield this summer.

Moving to Real Madrid is another kick in the teeth and while it is not as bad as joining a Premier League rival, it still stings when the two clubs have long been adversaries on the European stage.

Looking at the situation from Alexander-Arnold's point of view, you can see why he may wish to leave.

Alexander-Arnold is leaving a club that is on a high after winning a 20th league title to match Manchester United's record despite all the odds stacked against Arne Slot when he arrived.

They are now heading into the summer transfer window full of vigour and looking to do some business which takes them to the next level

Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have committed their futures to the club and are ready to pass on the torch to the next generation once that time comes.

Meanwhile in Madrid, they are a club that is suffering

Alexander-Arnold is about to enter a club that is reeling and will be going through a transition of change next season with Carlo Ancelotti moving on and Xabi Alonso taking the wheel.



One full season playing second fiddle to Barca across the board is too much for them to stomach so the pressure surrounding the club will be high.

Alexander-Arnold will know now just what he has let himself in for by choosing Los Blancos over the Reds.
