Xabi Alonso Delivers Shock Verdict on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eyes Surprise Liverpool Star Instead
In a stunning twist, incoming Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has reportedly made a harsh and unexpected call that’s sent ripples through both Liverpool and Madrid.
Behind closed doors, Alonso is said to have dismissed any interest in Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. “I don’t want Trent anywhere near the team I’m building,” he allegedly stated. “He’s not the level I’m looking for. The deal is off—final decision.”
With that, weeks of speculation linking the England international to a move to the Bernabéu appear to have come to an abrupt end. But Alonso didn’t stop there. He quickly shifted focus to another Liverpool player—someone now at the center of Madrid’s transfer plans.
“There’s another Liverpool player I’ve been monitoring closely—Gravenberch. He’s the one I believe can redefine everything,” Alonso reportedly said. “Liverpool may try to resist, but it’s too late. I’ve already spoken with Florentino Perez. We’re getting him. It’s done.”
That’s right—Ryan Gravenberch is poised for a shock move to Real Madrid. The Dutch midfielder, once considered a long-term piece of Liverpool’s future, is now set to become a cornerstone in Alonso’s new era at the Spanish giants.
When Real Madrid sets its sights on a player, history shows they usually get their way—whether it’s Modrić, Kroos, or Camavinga. Gravenberch now appears to be next in line.
Another rising Liverpool talent appears to be Madrid-bound—and fans may have to brace themselves for another painful departure.
