I declined to join Liverpool in order to join Real Madrid. This is my message to Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Michael Owen has expressed his willingness to engage in discussions with Trent Alexander-Arnold regarding a prospective transfer to Real Madrid. In 2004, the Santiago Bernabeu was the destination of the former

Liverpool striker’s departure from Anfield. Owen scored 16 goals in 46 games during his brief stay in Spain, which lasted only one year. In 2005, the 45-year-old joined Newcastle United. However, he has since disclosed that he desired to return to Liverpool, a desire that was never realised. Owen is familiar with the intricacies of a high-profile transfer,

as he himself donned the Real Madrid jersey after deciding to leave Liverpool in the wake of intense speculation, much like Alexander-Arnold is now beginning to experience. The 26-year-old right-back is approaching the latter months of his Anfield contract, which will render him eligible for a free transfer in the summer. Owen stated exclusively to the Liverpool ECHO in December 2024,

“Would I be amenable to a conversation?” Certainly, if he contacted me. I communicate with a multitude of individuals. I am employed in the television industry, and I am frequently conducting interviews.”I am in the vicinity of areas and television studios, and I am covering games.” I am frequently engaged in conversation with individuals, and they frequently request advice and other forms of assistance. Of course, I

would respond if Trent contacted me. Owen is of the opinion that there is no definitive right or incorrect decision for Alexander-Arnold. He further stated, “There is no such thing as a good or bad decision.” The sole criterion for determining whether a decision is excellent or bad is the subsequent decade.

“That is the sole justification for your decision to determine whether it is good or bad.” In contrast, when one experiences it, it is as it is. I made that decision at the time, and I am unable to alter it. Trent will make his decision from the perspective of all the available information, and this is the appropriate course of action for him at this time.
