Social media is in a frenzy over Cody Gakpo’s post-match interview, as Liverpool supporters think his remarks about Trent Alexander-Arnold could portend a significant change to his future. The Dutchman more than contributed to a memorable afternoon when he scored during the Reds’ 5-1 thumping of Tottenham at Anfield.
As much of Merseyside reveled in red smoke, champagne, and old and new songs throughout the evening, Arne Slot’s team won the English league for the twentieth time and celebrated their first title in front of supporters at Anfield in thirty-five years. With new contract extensions already signed this month for Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, there is growing optimism that Liverpool’s new golden age is just getting started. View the sequences in full time below:
However, there is still one cloud hanging over the crimson sky: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future uncertainty. After he scored the game-winning goal against Leicester last week, his emotion was evident, and it was uncontrollable on Sunday as well.
In a lyrical fashion, Peter Drury of Sky Sports asked, “How can Trent walk away from this?” According to the rumors circulating among fans, Trent may be reconsidering his decision to join Real Madrid.
Gakpo Interview Sparks New Speculation Over Trent
The right-back’s Liverpool chapter might not be over just yet
Earlier this month, Fabrizio Romano was one of the people who confirmed Alexander-Arnold’s impending transfer to Real Madrid. According to a verbal agreement, the right-back, who is currently regarded as the best in the world, will join the Spanish powerhouses as a free agent in the summer.
However, Gakpo’s most recent remarks about him could suggest a possible U-turn after weeks without any new information about the matter. Watch the interview below to hear what he said:
“Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building.”
Even though his remarks could come off as informal to an outsider, Gakpo’s interview has reignited the romantic, optimistic attitude that made Liverpool supporters so adored during Jurgen Klopp’s renowned “doubters to believers” period. There are many Reds fans who believe the Dutchman has hinted at a possible change of heart.
“He and Trent are friends. One X user said, “He wouldn’t say anything at all if the rumors that he had agreed to join Madrid were true.” “If Trent knew he was going, why bring him up? He refused to. “Oh my god, I’m all in again,” said a second person, and a third asked:
“Does he know something that we don’t!?”
A fourth person commented, “Wait, that’s genuinely enormous,” yet it’s obvious that the Anfield supporters are getting more excited. The right-back, who joined the team when he was six years old and has since made 351 appearances and won nine trophies, has not yet discussed his future in public.
