Amid swirling rumors linking Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, Andy Robertson has dismissed the speculation, insisting that his Liverpool teammate is focused solely on recovering from injury and helping the team in their Premier League title chase.
Trent’s name has been prominently featured in transfer gossip recently, with reports suggesting that he might be considering a move away from Liverpool when his contract expires on June 30. Among the clubs reportedly interested in him is Real Madrid, widely regarded as one of the most successful and prestigious football teams in the world.
However, according to Robertson, Alexander-Arnold is paying little attention to the transfer rumors and is solely concentrating on his recovery. As a close friend and teammate, Robertson revealed that Trent is not in the right frame of mind to deal with the speculation, as he is more concerned with returning to full fitness after his injury. Robertson emphasized that Trent’s current focus is on getting healthy, with his future beyond that still uncertain.
“It’s impossible for me to say that we haven’t seen the noise and comments. But for us, the priority right now is for him to get back to full fitness,” Robertson explained. “Once he’s fit again, whatever happens next will be up to him. No one knows what the future holds, and people can talk and speculate, but for us, the key thing is to see him healthy again. We want Trent back as soon as possible.”
Robertson also mentioned that the injury has affected Alexander-Arnold emotionally, as he hates being sidelined, and it’s clear that the defender’s current state of mind is focused solely on his recovery. “None of us like being injured, but it hurts Trent a little bit more,” Robertson added, noting the extra frustration that comes with being out of action for a player of Trent’s caliber.
The Liverpool captain further elaborated on the team’s mindset regarding the ongoing Premier League title race. While Liverpool are currently leading the table with 73 points, ahead of second-placed Arsenal with 61 points, Robertson made it clear that the team is not getting ahead of themselves. The players are fully aware of the stakes, but their focus remains on winning their remaining matches, one game at a time.
“It’s important for us to stay grounded and not get too carried away,” Robertson said. “While it’s understandable that the fans are excited and hopeful, we have a job to do, and we cannot afford to think beyond the next game. We want to win each match and keep pushing until we cross the finish line.”
Robertson acknowledged that there is a certain level of anticipation among fans as the season draws to a close, but he stressed that the team’s only concern is to maintain their current momentum. “When the time to celebrate comes, we will make sure to enjoy it with the fans, but right now, it’s all about staying focused on the matches ahead,” he added.
The Scottish international also commented on the significance of the support from Liverpool’s fans, who continue to believe in the team’s potential to secure the title. He understands their excitement but reiterated that the players remain committed to keeping their heads down and continuing their hard work.
With just a few matches remaining, Liverpool are determined to maintain their lead and finish the season strong. They will face Fulham next, in a match scheduled for Sunday, April 6, as they look to extend their advantage and secure their place at the top of the Premier League standings. For now, the primary goal remains clear: to focus on the games that lie ahead and ensure the title race stays firmly within their control.
