Liverpool told to prioritize Alexander-Arnold deal

Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson believes the club should prioritize a new contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold ovr Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, although he believes an offer from Real Madrid could prove too hard to turn down.

Johnson told Genting Casino:

If I had to pick a contract to renew as a priority in the cases of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, then Trent is who I’d go for, mainly because of his age.

They're all world class players, but Trent is the younger man, and he could feasibly be playing in the Liverpool first team for another six, seven years.

Mo and Virgil, as good as they are, aren’t going to be able to do that.

Of course, there are rumours about Real Madrid wanting to sign Trent and I don’t expect those to go away.

Real Madrid are a big, iconic club.

Most players might not say it, but nearly everyone wants to play for Real Madrid.

If Madrid wanted him, I think it would be a deal that he couldn't turn down.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a move from Liverpool to Real Madrid.
