Portugal Coach Reveals Alexander-Arnold's Future

Roberto Martinez, the head coach of Portugal's national team, has commented on the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold, suggesting that the Liverpool right-back may depart the club at the end of the season. Martinez noted that while it was once assumed English players like Alexander-Arnold would spend their entire careers at clubs like Liverpool, the current trend shows a growing interest in playing abroad. He stated, 'If Trent intended to stay at Liverpool, he would have extended his contract by now. It's clear he has made his decision and chosen his next team.'

Alexander-Arnold's contract with Liverpool is set to expire in the summer, and as of January, he is permitted to negotiate with other clubs. Reports have linked him with a move to Real Madrid, among other top European teams. Martinez's insights add weight to the speculation surrounding the defender's future, highlighting a shift in English players' willingness to pursue opportunities outside the Premier League.
