Sean: Trent is a big lad. He will make his own choice. I’d love him to stay. The sadness hovering over it all is that we fans fear he’ll end up like Michael Owen, trading legendary status for a trip to Spain. I hope when Alexander-Arnold returns to Anfield he gets a better reception than Owen did (largely ignored). Madrid is a top club and wonderful city. But it ain’t Liverpool!
Russ: Trent has been at the club for 20 years and has won absolutely everything so you can understand if he wants a change of scene. What he needs to understand is he will never be adored by the Madrid fans like he is at Anfield. He will never get to captain the club he supposedly loves and he will never win the Ballon d’Or regardless of which club he plays for. He will be always be welcomed back to Anfield but not with open arms – he has tarnished his legacy like Owen and McManaman.
Fraser: Whereas Salah and Virgil have made it clear they want to stay (and I’m fairly confident both will extend), Trent has been quiet the whole time which makes me fear the worst. The thing that infuriates me most is he is trying to leave on a free and Liverpool get nothing in return. This is very disappointing from Trent and pretty selfish from him as well, I just hope this doesn’t sabotage or derail our campaign. Good thing Conor Bradley is near to returning.
Tommy: Out of the three players, he is the one we can afford to lose. He’s a luxury player who too often doesn’t live up to the massive hype on him. We have a ready-made replacement, so he can go. It is getting boring now. He, like Owen, will be warming the bench at Madrid.
Enton: First and foremost, as a lifelong Liverpool fan, losing Trent would be a massive blow… That’s a no-brainer. However, I think he’s made his mind up and who can blame him? When Real Madrid comes knocking, you answer the door! Having built his friendship with Jude Bellingham via England duty, the process of settling in will be a lot easier as well. It’s up to Liverpool now to try to get the best deal possible (if it’s not too late).
