New York Times  

An influential and popular home-grown Liverpool player being pursued by Spanish giants Real Madrid as he nears the end of his contract.

He’s won every trophy manageable with Liverpool.” Alexander-Arnold after winning the Champions League in 2019 McManaman’s legacy at Liverpool was damaged in the eyes of some of their fans by his departure. So that’s why the first one in ’92 is the most important one to me.” GO DEEPER Liverpool drawing PSG highlights major flaw in revamped Champions League
