Trent Alexander-Arnold linked to Real Madrid? | ESPN FC Extra Time 

It would be hilarious to hear Trent speaking Spanish with a Scouse accent😂

I understand everyone's concern about TAA defending, but let's remember what Carvajal said recently. Their new formation & structure allows for him to roam more in attack - imagine TAA in this position. A big part is due to the lineup, but a key aspect of this has been Fede helping out as RWB at times. Fede & TAA could work on that right side.

The thing with England’s Golden Generation of talent that had Steven Gerrard Wayne Rooney Frank Lampard David Beckham Ashley Cole Rio Ferdinand Paul Scholes etc it was great on paper, but collectively they never functioned well as a team. Gerrard was the face of Liverpool, Lampard was the face of Chelsea and Wayne Rooney was the face of Manchester United in their peak they dominated the premier league and were absolute ballers, but for some reason when it came to the international scene they fell short. When you’re building a team, the thing is that you can have a lot of talent individually as that’s important, but that alone doesn’t guarantee you anything especially since that wasn’t a team to be honest it was a bunch of individuals that never truly clicked. You look at that England team vs for example Portugal’s EURO winning team in 2016, throughout the tournament they only won 1 game in 90 minutes and apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, that team wasn’t good on paper and with the knockout format of these competitions, other factors play a massive role in whether a star studded team works more than just how good it is on paper. The current England squad on paper with Harry Kane Jude Bellingham Phil Foden Bukayo Saka etc it looks very good as once again a very talented squad, but have absolutely no excuses if they don’t win the EUROs in the summer. They have good players but overall their team isn’t that good and individuals they seem to always paper over the cracks that England have in the team right now. Even though many of their players are enjoying stellar seasons at their respective clubs right now, we see the same script with England over and over again, there’s optimism that they’ll finally end their long international trophy drought just for them to crumble at a major tournament and there’s a feeling that the same thing is going to happen and history will repeat itself. England’s most talented team on paper, good players, but not a good team and individuals alone can’t win you big trophies.

Real Madrid crush his dreams twice. He'll stay at Liverpool 100%

Funny to watch Laporta cry every time Madrid talks about singing new players 😂😂😂

Stevie is the most comsistent pundit over 15yrs now or more

Is this Ultimate team that Madrid is building???

We are going to get Davies on the left. He is like trent, best going forward. 2 attack minded full backs spells disaster in the back line.

So according to the media in the last 6 weeks salah ,nunez ,szobozlai, Alison, macalister, Diaz, konate ,vvd and now trent are all leaving...any rumours about city or arsenal players leaving in such numbers ...no

Absolutely!

@ 18:37 Ian, i think you mean Joe Strummer!

Kay and Stevie are like the Kane and Son of last year. LOVE this combo EVERY time. LOL Stevie likes watching history on the History channel??? I didn't know they ever showed history on there anymore instead of reality tv nonsense.

As good and as valuable as Trent is to Liverpool , Real would never sign him as RB cause he doesn't really do much defensive duties..😎 The guy is basically a winger the moment the game kicks off 😂😂😂

This by far is the funniest extra time episode.

I think that in possession Real Madrid will push Davies and TAA up field and Tchouaméni will sink back almost as a 3rd center back giving them 3 defenders back for a counter and having the likes of Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Valverde, Davies, and TAA forward

Even if he wanted to I don’t think Trent would leave before winning at least another UCL with Liverpool

This extra time didn't make sense on the podcast so I had to watch it 😂

The main reason the Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard axis never worked is it was too top heavy, Scholes was played out of position on the left and Lampard and Gerrard never worked as a midfield pairing as they were too similar in the role they played for their clubs

Big up Stevie

Good for TAA.

Stevie's comments on the pieces of puzzles fitting is critical. Just putting fantastic players together won't win you a championship. PSG is a good example (although they were post-prime versions of Messi and Neymar) - you need players to do the dirty work.

I'd love to see him at RM but this is not happening

It did not help watching Kay, Stevie & Ale reacting to watching Stevie react to a match highlights package. Relying on Stevie's commentary on his (non visible) package.

Real Madrid also want Andrea Cambiasso from Juventus for Left back.

Nope don’t see it happening

Kane speaking German or Trent speaking Spanish

Madrid doesn’t need Trent We need defenders Not more playmakers

Stevie the Mumu Man

Nothing funnier than the English and their idea that they had a "golden generation" of midfielders. They won nothing , didnt even make a final and crashed out embarrassingly in every tournament they contested :D

All his family and friends are in liverpool. He'd be very isolated if he moved to Madrid...

To me the solution is simple. Trent should be the long term cdm, functioning as a deep lying midfield playmaker. He actually tackles well in midfield, and recovers possession. The disrespect to Trent is unbelievable. Bradley is great but cmon what are we talking about. It’s like the same people who want to sell Alisson and keep kelleher. Strange stuff to say the least. A scouser that embodies everything that is right with the club, why would you sell him. Since when do we sell or Englishmen when there are also quotas to meet.

What’s ESPN thinking why do they think people are interested in rich old men talking about golf. I think they need a new and fresh lineup

Liverpool fans thinking it was Agent Trent but it’s Agent Jude all along 🤣🤣

No person that plays golf has never been injured. Lot's of moving parts.

I think its more if Davies doenst join .Dont see both at the same time on the team. We dont need two attacking backs.

the moment I heard Trent not a good defender and good going forward in one sentence I stop listenning the not good defender is a myth at this point STOP IT.

Trent is not for sale

Obviously, Trent will stay at Liverpool. Even if he were to go to Spain late in his career, he has said that he grew up admiring Barcelona. RM is not an option.

i always said Trent reminded me of Marcelo... Madrid would suit him well.

I knew Southgate was going to start Rashford over Foden

I see valverde moving to RB sooner rather than later

You know it’s international break 🙄

If Madrid is going to sign Alphonso Davies, I don't know TAA makes sense.

Why would real Madrid want this guy?? He's already trying to be moved into midfield. Real madrid dont need a transitioning rb that cant play rb anymore. Camavinga can play there anyway

Might have been agent Jude all this while

Trent passing the ball to Mbappé is just unfair.

No balance in golden era ! Lampard Gerard and overrated Beckham in a same team !! The current team is better in every department

“£60, 70m?” For Trent? Add a one to the front of it and I’d still want more. I LOVE Conor Bradley, but Trent is generational, and he’s a Scouser, he’s destined to Captain us.

Its not far fetched, Liverpool will have major changes in the summer I think Salah VVD both won't extend VVD himself hinted at that

60, 70 million!!! Oh Stevie. Try 100 million plus.

70 mil isnt near enough for Trent. Hes irreplacable. Atleast 200 mil but hes our vice captain hes bot leaving

Why would Real Madrid want a RB who can’t defend?

Imagine if you called in sick to work because you got dirt in your eye

TAA not needed. Bring back Hakimi

No chance lad.

Trent has seen what happened to Mcmanaman and Owen. I don't think he wants that legacy.

Why would they even consider him? He is nowhere near carvajals level. Madrid should sign someone else or try alaba on the right ( when carvajal is out) because he is so bad on the left and as a cb.

Southgate to Liverpool!!!!

Grimaldo + Frimpong to Real Madrid

It makes sense there is another kid coming out why not go explore

Stevie calls the wife into the bathroom to check its him in the mirror before he shaves.😂

KAYYYYYY 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Then he would go like every thing happening means much more to real Madrid 😂

Real Madrid targeting Trent thinking they can get him on a free Don't think they'd pay 60-80M for him, not saying he's not worth that much

Can you turn water into wine

Hakimi clear

Madrid should try and get James from chealsea

Nah. That RB position belongs to Hakimi.

Rich people problem golf injury

Speaking of died bleach blonde didnt Romania do something like that when the whole team died their hair blonde for some reason?

Moreno's opinions always so terrible. North America is still an America for the Copa to be in. Everyone pretty much can agree that the tournament is better with the USA, Canada and Mexico being in it. I get the historical portion of it but its still in the americas and tbh South America is not the best host so it all makes more sense and will be more enjoyable.

Good team, potential champions- but dont play Harry Kane- he brings the Spursy spirit.

I came for TAA transfer rumour talk, but was instead bombarded with 5 minutes of awfully boring golf talk

Tell your guest to speak English pls

Could the espn fc team discuss less about fantasy and more about reality!?

80 million for Alexander Arnold 😂😂

If you have Roberto Carlos, Marcelo, Alphonso Davies one the left you need new Michel Salgado/Dani Carvajal on the right. Trent just can't defend.

Noooooo

Lies. It will be hakimi

You can tell espn has the tv rights to the Spanish leagues 😂

Is it called cops America sur, Or is it Copa America ?

Stevie is the best at ESPN FC...funny and knowledgeable!!

Don’t understand why would they go for Trent his horrible player he will lose the ball a lot and go to high up as well they shouldve went for hakimi for RB

Oh Stevie, I caught a major slip of the tongue by you as a Scotsman on the ESPN UK video previewing the Brazil-England match tomorrow. At 5:00 of the video, Stevie says “Why don’t we, why don’t England try and play like that?” You instantly caught your mistake in live time but as a Scotsman, that’s a huge No-No!

Nice joke 😂😂😂

I would take trent anyday after two or three years when carva gets old

Looks hot in white today 😍

I could see this Liverpool team being plucked apart from Klopp leaves

8:35...Lazy, garbage, clickbait journalism.

We all watched and seen how TAA defends especially when he plays at the right back position in both premiere league and champions league since 2019. Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Walker (33), Trippier (33), Di Lorenzo (30), Cancelo (29), Dumfries (27), Mazraoui (26), Wan-Bissaka (26), White (26), Hakimi (25), Alexander-Arnold (25), Dalot (24), Porro (24), James (24), Frimpong (23), Couto (21), Sanchez (20) and Fresneda (19). These are the best right backs players needed and replacement of Dani Carvajal. Right Back: Jesus Fortea, & Malo Gusto

Stevie Nicol is clueless. Clueless football pundit.

Stevie is a dinosaur who acc knows nothing about his own club crazy

Rubbish lol

Many people believe that Trent Alexander Arnold isn’t leaving Liverpool, I don’t see that happening, but if it ever does then he is exactly what Real Madrid needs at right back. Everyone will say, “oh he can’t defend”, we know that, but they’re in need of a right back, as amazing of a player Dani Carvajal has been for this team, the guy is 32 he’s aging not getting any younger and he can’t play forever that’s not possible. What he offers them going forward is exactly what Real Madrid has been lacking in the fullback position since Marcelo and attacking wise he’s on another level because of his playmaking and ability to create chances out of nowhere and does it from so many areas of the field as a fullback. Imagine Trent playing through passes to Mbappe and Vinicius Junior every time. While on defense, there’s a lot of question marks about it, if you look at the personnel that Real Madrid has in midfield with the likes of Camavinga Tchuoameni and Valverde what they offer is a lot of energy and stamina meaning that when he’s going forward, he has other players that can cover the ground and make up for his defensive shortcomings. The local lad from the Liverpool academy has been living the dream growing up from their ranks and is a key player for them and has made a mark for them big time. A lot of people believe that English players can only do it in the Premier League, and to me this narrative isn’t true. Jude Bellingham was killing it for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and has enjoyed a brilliant debut season at Real Madrid, Harry Kane has been the best striker in the Premier League for so long, you can say whatever you want about his “trophy curse” but he can’t stop scoring and he’s dominating the Bundesliga right now and this is proof that players from England can have success outside of the Premier League and do well playing abroad. For players, you want to stay at your local club for your entire career, there’s also a feeling of getting out of your comfort zone and while Trent Alexander Arnold has had success at Liverpool, don’t rule out a move to Real Madrid in the future as in football anything can happen.

Next season Madrid start their European domination again

He better go to Real Madrid and win trophies, Liverpool are not ready for anything
