The return of Michael Edwards has made Liverpool fans breathe a sigh of relief.
With Jurgen Klopp set to leave at the end of the season, it wouldn’t be a surprise if many are worried about the uncertainty.
But with Michael Edwards in the boardroom, at least there is that element of trust that he can bring back the magic he served during his first spell at Liverpool.
Aside from bringing in a new manager, one of his biggest jobs will be to sort out the futures of the current players at the club.
One of them includes Trent Alexander-Arnold – his current Liverpool deal expires in 2025 and there are suggestions Real Madrid are monitoring his contract situation.
Scott Minto admitted that it would be ‘really interesting’ if the £180k-a-week star did join a club like Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants are building yet another formidable team, with Kylian Mbappe yet to arrive and Jude Bellingham already doing wonders.
From England’s perspective, to have players of that calibre at Real Madrid would be outrageous and that’s why Scott Minto is keen for it to happen.
Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid
“I would be very surprised if there are no talks,” said Minto about Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation. “I believe he only has one year left after this season and you don’t leave top-class players, unless they refuse, so I imagine that’s what is happening. He wants to see what’s happening, especially since Jurgen Klopp says he’s leaving.
“In terms of Trent, he is synonymous with Liverpool, isn’t he?! He is almost the symbol of what Liverpool is. Coming through the ranks.
“From an England point of view, it would be really interesting to see him go out to a team like Real Madrid, just like Jude Bellingham has, but for Liverpool, it would be a massive loss.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool
Whether the 25-year-old leaves today or retires at Anfield, he will always go down as a legendary figure.
The boyhood Red helped his team win the lot, including ending the club’s 30-year wait to become champions of England again.
You feel Alexander-Arnold’s best years are ahead of him and there’s no reason why he can’t win it all again with Liverpool.
But, of course, all of this depends on who the next manager will be and just how well Edwards can settle in again.
However, as HITC revealed, Liverpool themselves are confident that Alexander-Arnold will sign a new deal.
