In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the football community, reports have emerged claiming that Trent Alexander-Arnold has spoken out about the real reason behind his move from Liverpool to Real Madrid. Contrary to popular belief, the England international allegedly stated that his departure had nothing to do with manager Arne Slot, but rather with issues inside the dressing room.
“People think I left Liverpool because of Arne Slot — that’s not true,” Alexander-Arnold is quoted as saying. “It was one player who made things so toxic in the dressing room that I had no choice but to leave for Real Madrid. Now I’m ready to return home, but unless Slot sells him in January, I’m not coming back.”
If true, the comments reveal deep tensions that may have been simmering behind the scenes during the final months of Alexander-Arnold’s time at Anfield. The defender’s remarks suggest that personal conflict — not tactical disagreements — may have been at the heart of his shock departure.
The idea of a potential return has reignited hope among Liverpool fans, many of whom still view Alexander-Arnold as one of their own. However, his conditional statement hints at unresolved issues within the squad that could complicate any reunion.
Neither Liverpool nor Alexander-Arnold has officially confirmed these claims, but the story has sparked intense speculation about the identity of the player involved and whether reconciliation is possible. If the right conditions are met, a homecoming could be on the horizon — one that would mark a dramatic new chapter in both Alexander-Arnold’s career and Liverpool’s future.
