Paul Merson expressed disbelief at the idea of Liverpool selling Trent Alexander-Arnold for £20 million this January. Speaking to Sky Sports, he called the amount “a cup of tea in football terms,” emphasizing the player’s value to Liverpool’s current title challenge.

Reports suggest Real Madrid is preparing a second bid for the England international, potentially securing him on a free transfer next summer. If Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Alexander-Arnold don’t agree on a January deal, Liverpool could lose out on a significant payday.

Liverpool’s Title Aspirations
Liverpool, currently leading both the Premier League and Champions League, are in a prime position to add more silverware. Merson urged fans to cherish Alexander-Arnold’s exceptional passing ability, which he believes is “second to none.”
The Bigger Picture
Merson highlighted Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League this season, recalling their 2020 triumph in an empty Anfield. He argued that selling such a pivotal player would be a mistake given the club’s lofty ambitions.
Will Liverpool cash in now, or can they persuade Alexander-Arnold to stay beyond this season? Fans eagerly await the next chapter in this unfolding saga.
