Former Chelsea defender Glen Johnson has told Liverpool not to stand in the way of Trent Alexander-Arnold if the player wants to leave Anfield this summer.
Recall that Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, but the Reds are doing everything to keep hold of him.

With a year left on his contract, Johnson, in a chat with BetFred, stated that Alexander-Arnold should be allowed to leave the club.
“Madrid’s Madrid. Liverpool are going to be going through some uncertain times in the short term, so if Real Madrid are at the table, it’s difficult for players to not go. If he goes there, he is likely to win the Champions League again, so I don’t think he could turn that down, and Madrid would be crazy to not try and sign him. He could even sign a pre-contract with them from January onwards, but Liverpool can’t lose him for free,” Johnson said to BetFred.
“He’s way too good for that to happen and it would be ridiculous business for Liverpool to allow him to leave on a free transfer. I’m sure Liverpool are trying to keep him, but as the clock’s ticking and Real Madrid are interested in him, then it’s only going against Liverpool at this moment in time.”
