Despite rumors that Liverpool is interested in the playmaker, Trent Alexander-Arnold was seen smiling with James Maddison of Leicester City.
Following reports that the 26-year-old might now be a target for Liverpool this summer, England’s official Twitter account shared a video of the Three Lions participating in training ahead of their June matches, with Alexander-Arnold spotted with Maddison.
Following Leicester’s relegation to the Championship, 90min reported that the £60 million player is on Jurgen Klopp’s radar. Many anticipate that Maddison will now be offered at a discount considering his exceptional quality and statistics in the Premier League.
Additionally, with Mason Mount expected to go with Manchester United, Maddison might be the ideal replacement for Liverpool, who have a remarkable history of acquiring players from Premier League clubs who have been demoted and developing them into important members of the squad.
This month, Alexander-Arnold must sell Maddison the Liverpool project.
As a result of Leicester’s defeat, a firesale is anticipated at the King Power Stadium this summer, with Maddison probably being the most expensive item offered for sale. And Liverpool will be hoping that Alexander-Arnold plays a role in moving the initiative forward by pitching it to the England international.
After purchasing Alexis Mac Allister, Klopp is known to be eager to add more midfielders this summer. Even with Leicester losing, Maddison would be a great addition for the Reds given his stellar performance in the Premier League over the past several seasons.
