Add Paddy Pimblett to the lengthy list of Liverpool fans who are eagerly anticipating the appearance of Trent Alexander-Arnold after his return to the club.
According to reports, Alexander-Arnold is planning to leave the club that he joined when he was just six years old in 2004. He will be moving to Real Madrid on a free transfer at the conclusion of the current season.
It is the fact that Alexander-Arnold will be leaving Anfield for no reason that has angered the Reds supporters the most. Given that a player of his ability might have brought in a substantial transfer price for the club, this is the greatest source of frustration.
Despite the fact that Alexander-Arnold has been a member of Liverpool’s roster for twenty years, the club will not receive a single dime from the transaction.
Some Liverpool fans have demanding that head coach Arne Slot keep Alexander-Arnold on the bench for the duration of the season. Those who are even more irate among the Reds faithful have even gone so far as to burn shirts that have the defender’s name printed on the back of the shirt.
Pimblett, who is a fan of Liverpool, has now added his voice to the agony by participating in an interview with TNT Sports. This conversation takes place in advance of his fight against Michael Chandler, which will take place at UFC 294.
Pimblett stated, “I don’t even want to talk about it,” and he meant it.
“He has spoken ill about Liverpool. We have been harmed by him.
Despite the fact that he has always stated that he wants to be the next Gerrard and that he wants to captain the club, he is now free to go.
“He’s no scouser.”
Pimblett referred to Alexander-Arnold as a “lizard” in a different interview that he conducted with Sky Sports.
According to Pimblett, “I have forgotten where he came from.”
If I could have his career, I would give up my own in a heartbeat. I want to win trophies for my city and for my team, whom I have been supporting for my whole life and have grown proud of. What I would do in order to accomplish it.
The money that he is making, as well as the money that has been provided to him. Just trying to put a smile on the face of every single person in the city.
Throughout my childhood, I had the desire to be Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, and Luis Suarez. I aspired to be all of these things.
In order to become another cog in the system at Madrid, he is merely abandoning the club that he has grown up and supported throughout his entire life. They have been there for him during his entire life.
He always stated that he wanted to be the captain of the London Football Club, and he had the potential to become a legend there.
Therefore, he was a liar all the while, wasn’t he? I believe that he has forgotten where he originated from.
There is a strong possibility that Alexander-Arnold will sign a five-year contract with Real Madrid, which, according to talkSPORT, will bring him more than £220,000 a week.
It would appear that the 26-year-old is the only member of Liverpool’s high-profile three whose contracts were scheduled to expire at the end of the season. Mohamed Salah signed his new agreement on Friday morning, and talkSPORT understands that Virgil van Dijk is scheduled to follow suit.
The impending transfer of Alexander-Arnold comes after he expressed to Sky Sports in September his desire to leave behind a legacy that would endure at Anfield football club.
According to Alexander-Arnold, “I have always stated that I want to be the captain of the club.”
“That is a goal of mine, and it is not within my control whether or not it is accomplished.”
