Emmanuel Petit warns Trent Alexander-Arnold over Real Madrid move

Emmanuel Petit has cautioned Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold against a potential move to Real Madrid, emphasizing that he could struggle under the high expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Alexander-Arnold has been linked with a Bosman transfer to the LaLiga giants, but Petit warns that the Madrid fans do not forgive mistakes and could be harsh on him if he does not perform defensively. He remarked that Alexander-Arnold is not a 'proper defender' and suggested he might face immense scrutiny, drawing on his own experiences from his time at Barcelona. Despite being a key player for Liverpool, Petit urged Alexander-Arnold to reconsider the move, referencing a recent poor performance against Manchester United as a concern. Liverpool has reportedly turned down a £20 million bid from Real Madrid, but the speculation around Alexander-Arnold's future remains strong. Liverpool is also preparing for a potential departure of Mohamed Salah, eyeing Brahim Diaz as a replacement.
