Although it should not have come much of a surprise for Liverpool fans, the Trent Alexander-Arnold announcement on Monday will still have sent shocking waves through the supporters’ community.

The loan must go to both the club and the player to keep everything under the end until the title race is over, so as not to deviate from the issue in hand.

For a player who has spent his entire career in Liverpool, it is clear from his farewell tone that the decision to leave has not been easily made. Indeed, there seemed to be true emotion in his voice as he spoke about the next stage of his journey.

While there is an argument that he is leaving at the worst possible time given that Liverpool have all got to the Premier League in 2024/25, the rolling side is it Madrid true Don’t come too often.

For this purpose, there must be a meaning of TrentThe desire to move from his Reds experience, even if he raises questions about who will replace him on the right side of the defense since the start of the 2025/26 campaign.

Anyone who Arne Slot decides on that special job, they have a difficult action to follow.

Trent will be a difficult action to follow in Liverpool

Of the 348 matches he has played in all competitions over the past 10 seasons, Trent has started in 315 of them. Only 54 losses during that time are an extraordinary statistic, and he has played the most complete part in many successes since 2014/15.

He has provided 85 assists and has scored 22 goals himself, who is not at all bad for a player who is seemingly a right -wing defender, even if there is an argument that should be made to play much further.

15 of those 22 goals have been from outside the area, indicating that Trent is not afraid to take the goal if the opportunity presents itself. This can go in some way to explain why he has also hit woodwork in another 15 cases.

Perhaps his accuracy of the shooting can be improved as 32% of it currently dipped slightly from a height of 41.7% in 2021/22. Real Madrid, who is expected to be his new employers from next season, will surely wait to see an increase in this.

Ditto his protective skills.

Los Blancos have been poor in the back of this season, so they will need players who can not only bomb in any way, but who can also stand with their direct opponent and win most of those battles.

Only 44 yellow cards received at the time speaks to a protector that more often than not its solutions properly. Approximately four in the season is extraordinary when one considers how physical the Premier League can ever be.

Between 2014/15 and 2024/25, in the races where he has made more than 10 meetings, the best show of Trent is a 70% return on successful solutions.

This is not great for a defender, though the Liverpool man has probably raised his game in terms of his passage range and this can provide – for now – that other aspects of his game have been overlooked.

The accuracy of the passage can be manna from heaven for Real Madrid ahead

For that long, Trent was unable to see his contributions in terms of 80%north; However, for the most part, he has enjoyed the statistics of the end to the low by the mid -1980s.

Pinging balls over the top of Laliga’s defense for Vinicius junior AND Kycian Mbappe To run over it will almost certainly become a feature of Real Madrid’s game in the future because of the ease with which Trent will be able to choose its goals.

Assuming that a deal for real passes as expected, unless there is a surprise that Trent will fight with protective stalwart Dani Carvajal and wing-wing Lucas Vazquez For regular right slot.

The latter can truly be considered a wide man, but has filled for the late first due to injury. Unable to relocate the likes of coming JR or Rodrygo From the wide areas forward, Vazquez faces the possibility of making more a few parts of a piece if Trent hits the ground running.

Lucas Vazquez has done a stellar work of roofing for Dani Carvajal

Many of the 38 goals scored and the 58 assistant assists will have come during the time of Lucas Vazquez, though this should not be removed from its obvious quality in this regard. Who will say that if Carlo Ancelotti Would they leave the club for example, that any new task in Dugout would prefer Liverpool man in a more attacker in which Vazquez generally excelled?

With an accuracy of at least 80% and very often much higher – 90% in this season’s Laliga – it is clear where the strength of Vazquez and DO will undoubtedly highlight the weakness of Trent in this area even more.

Gaining 412 out of his 616 troubles made over the last decade would suggest a persistence on the 33-year-old’s game, which could lose a lot if he sends down falling down.

Carvajal, also 33, is certainly the bravest and firm of the trio after 110 yellow cards from 14/15 would testify.

Included in the 3,204 duel also shows a lead to the most physical side, though he has lost almost as much (1,518) as he won (1,686).

1,799 Topi recovers show that he is not shirker, however, and, as his true colleague, regular right -wing experience at much higher game level will remain invaluable to his club, even if his result is probably what is likely to put him in a disadvantage for Trent.

Trent cannot allow the weight of the Real Madrid blouse to hinder his natural game

The 12 goals of the scored Carvajal are far less than his contemporaries, though 54 assists brings it in accordance with Vazquez. Both are still behind Trent’s ability to choose a teammate to light the house, however.

Carvajal also likes a drive also trying over 600 of them, though you will not often see it rising to the sharp end of the field; From 28.071 its touches in the past 10 seasons, only 681 have been in the opponent’s punishment area.

If Trent is able to provide deeper forums on the territory of the opposition, this is of clear benefit to a team that often boasts of their full backs and act as additional attackers.

The main issue for Carvajal and Vazquez is of course the age, which comes into play when you think about the energy spent on the rise and below the field. Try as they can, the duo just will not be as capable or agile as a player who is their seven years of their own.

As long as Trent is not overcome by the weight of the white shirt dress in one of one, if not the largest club in the world, it has the means to become a success.
