'Because football is all about trophies!'

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has made a prediction about the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is unable to make a clear choice between staying in Liverpool and moving to Real Madrid. It is advice on the direction of choice that comes from one's own experience beyond simple predictions. Scholes urged Alexander-Arnold to go to Real Madrid.

Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 29th (Korea time) 'Schols advised Alexander-Arnold on which team to choose between Liverpool and Real'




Alexander-Arnold, who is considered Liverpool's franchise star and the world's best right-back, played as the team's core power again this season, leading him to his first English Premier League (EPL) victory in five years. Alexander-Arnold, who is also a member of England's national team, started 27 EPL games this season and played as a substitute in three games, showing his best performance.

Thanks to this, Liverpool won the EPL title again in five years after the 2019-2020 season with a 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the 34th round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at Anfield, Liverpool, its home stadium, on the 28th. Alexander-Arnold's contribution was quite significant.

However, Alexander-Arnold's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season. In addition to Alexander-Arnold, there were two more key players whose contracts were expiring. They were Mohamed Salah, the leading goaltender, and Virgil van Dijk, the strongest center back. And Liverpool were the most active of these three to sign Alexander-Arnold.




However, the results are in the opposite direction. Salah and Van Dijk had ups and downs, but they were able to easily renew their contracts. Alexander-Arnold, on the other hand, rejected both offers from Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold rejected Liverpool's offer because he wanted a new team above all, although there were conditions problems. Rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid have been steadily raised. Real have pushed for Alexander-Arnold more actively than Alexander-Arnold.

TeamTalk reported that `Real are even willing to pay Liverpool a transfer fee to get Alexander-Arnold to join the team in time for the FIFA Club World Cup in June 2025.' However, Alexander-Arnold has yet to make a clear position.




In this regard, Manchester United legend Scholes appeared on TNT Sports about Alexander-Arnold's future. He added "It's going to be a very difficult decision for Alexander-Arnold. It's very difficult to leave the team if you're a local player, especially right after winning the EPL."

"But if it's not the same EPL, a transfer to Real could be rather easy. One thing to keep in mind is which team is more likely to lift the trophy in the coming years. Even if Real seem a little sluggish right now, it won't last long. Liverpool, on the other hand, is much more competitive in the EPL and the Champions League. We have to compete with Manchester City, Arsenal, even Chelsea."

In the end, Scholes considers the possibility of winning the championship the most important, so it is right to go to Real. He said "Football is all about winning trophies. In that sense, Real are slightly more advantageous than Liverpool. He is performing well in the Champions League, and there are not many competitors in the league except Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Attention is focusing on whether Alexander-Arnold will boldly leave Liverpool for more trophies.
