Wayne Rooney Drops Bombshell: Trent Alexander-Arnold Hasn’t Signed for Real Madrid Yet
In a surprising twist, Wayne Rooney has revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold has not yet committed to Real Madrid, despite persistent rumors linking the Liverpool right-back to a move to Spain.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Rooney acknowledged that discussions have taken place but emphasized that the transfer is far from finalized.
“Just because there are talks doesn’t mean a deal is done,” Rooney stated. “Alexander-Arnold hasn’t signed anything with Real yet, and honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up staying at Anfield.”
His comments have sent shockwaves through the football world, as many had assumed Alexander-Arnold was bound for the Santiago Bernabéu. However, Rooney hinted that Liverpool still has a chance to keep their star—if they take the right steps.
“I spoke with him; he wants to stay, but something is pushing him toward leaving. Only the club can fix that.”
What’s Making Trent Consider a Move?
Rooney’s remarks suggest that Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain and that Liverpool may hold the key to his decision. A lifelong Liverpool fan, Trent staying at Anfield would be the dream scenario for Reds supporters.
However, factors such as managerial changes, contract negotiations, and Liverpool’s long-term vision could be influencing his consideration of a move abroad.
Liverpool Fans React
This latest update has left Liverpool fans with mixed emotions. While some are relieved that a transfer isn’t finalized, others fear that Madrid’s pull might be too strong.
“If he wants to stay, Liverpool MUST make it happen!”
“This gives me hope! We can still keep him.”
“He should be our next captain. Give him whatever he wants!”
What Happens Next?
With Real Madrid still in the picture, Liverpool must act fast to convince Alexander-Arnold to commit his future to the club. Will they find the “solution” Rooney alluded to, or will Madrid swoop in and seal the deal?
