Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed disappointment over the impending departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to leave the club for Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract expires in June 2025. Real Madrid has already approached Liverpool about signing the 26-year-old, who wishes to play in the FIFA Club World Cup. Slot acknowledged the difficulty of losing a talented player but remains firm in his belief that the next player will rise to the occasion, drawing from his experience with similar situations at previous clubs.
He hasn't said anything about it himself. For me, it's impossible to comment on where he's going and if that is a club that is going to play in the Club World Cup.
Like everybody who is a fan of Liverpool, we're disappointed for him leaving because not only a good human being is leaving the club but also a very, very good full-back is leaving us as well.
I also worked at clubs like AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord where every season a good player, or multiple good players have left the club. I'm a bit more used to players leaving.
If a very good player is leaving then the next player will step up and that's probably what's going to happen now.
