Trent Alexander-Arnold may be owed apology from Liverpool fans as Real Madrid-bound star’s exemplary conduct praised ...Middle East

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.

However, now that Liverpool will earn some funds, former Premier League striker Deeney has questioned if they should apologise.

“A lot of people in the Liverpool fan base were frustrated as they were getting nothing for him. Do they owe Trent an apology?” he asked on Matterface and Crook for talkSPORT.

“That would be the question or do they think £10m isn’t enough? I just think it’s a good deal all round.

“He’s moved on. 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.”

“I think they’ve got their right to boo,” Deeney added. “When he puts the statement out that he wants to leave, you can’t then control how people react.

“He could have put that statement out this week. I just don’t think you can put something out and then kind of manage and expect how other people should react.”

Madrid approached to sign Alexander-Arnold in January but this was rejected by Liverpool amid their Premier League title charge.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes was understood to be a huge driving force behind resisting Madrid’s approach in January.

Achieving the club’s 20th league title was viewed with utmost importance above anything else, despite the hugely positive impact a sale would have made on their balance sheet.

Hughes was completely backed by chief executive Michael Edwards in this decision.

talkSPORT sources indicate that Alexander-Arnold did not agitate for a move in January and was as keen as anyone to win the title.

The 26-year-old is understood to have conducted himself immaculately throughout, which is why he was given a warm send off internally.

This is exemplified by the fact all the Liverpool ownership group applauded him as he collected a second Premier League winners medal.

In a statement on Friday, Liverpool said: “Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool FC with the club appreciative and grateful for his contribution to those successes.”

Madrid also confirmed on Friday that the England international will join the club on a deal that runs until 2031.

Alexander-Arnold’s debut could come next month in their Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal on June 18.

Madrid confirm Alexander-Arnold move

“Real Madrid C. F. and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold for the next six seasons, from 1 June 2025 to 30 June 2031.

“The 26-year-old England international joins the club after winning nine trophies with Liverpool: Champions League [1], Club World Cup [1], Uefa Super Cup [1], Premier League [2], FA Cup [1], League Cup [2], and Community Shield [1].

“On an individual level, he has been included once in the FIFA FIFPro World XI [2020], twice in the UEFA Champions League team of the season [2018/19 and 2021/22] and three times in the Premier League dream team [2018/19, 2019/20 and 2021/22]. He was also voted the best young player of the Premier League 2019/20.
