Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has told Liverpool not to stand in the way of Trent Alexander-Arnold if the player wants to leave Anfield this summer.<\/p>\n
Recall that Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, but the Reds are doing everything to keep hold of him.
\nWith a year left on his contract, Johnson, in a chat with BetFred, stated that Alexander-Arnold should be allowed to leave the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cMadrid\u2019s Madrid. Liverpool are going to be going through some uncertain times in the short term, so if Real Madrid are at the table,
\nIt\u2019s difficult for players to not go.<\/p>\n
If he goes there, he is likely to win the Champions League again, so I don\u2019t think he could turn that down, and Madrid would be crazy to not try and sign him.
\nHe could even sign a pre-contract with them from January onwards, but Liverpool can\u2019t lose him for free,\u201d Johnson said to BetFred.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s way too good for that to happen and it would be ridiculous business for Liverpool to allow him to leave on a free transfer.
\nI\u2019m sure Liverpool are trying to keep him, but as the clock\u2019s ticking and Real Madrid are interested in him, then it\u2019s only going against Liverpool at this moment in time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
