Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has been criticised for his potential move to Real Madrid, but has gained support from one of the highest places possible
Trent Alexander-Arnold has found himself in the headlines again, but this time, it is not for one of his trademark outside-of-the-boot crosses.

Instead, the Liverpool vice-captain has received a glowing endorsement from none other than Cafu, the legendary Brazilian right-back and two-time World Cup winner, who believes the England star would thrive at Real Madrid.
Cafu endorses Alexander-Arnold’s Real Madrid move
Speaking at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid, Cafu did not just offer polite praise; he went all in, dismissing critics who continue to question Alexander-Arnold’s defensive credentials.
)
Cafu, often considered the greatest right-back in football history, drew parallels between himself and the Liverpool man, pointing out that he, too, was once unfairly labelled as defensively weak.
The former Selecao captain said, “It depends what the coach wants. If they want you to attack, then you attack, if they want you to be defensive, then you’ll be defensive.”
)
Cafu described Trent as “incredible” and added that the move would be “huge” for Madrid. Considering the Brazilian icon’s own attacking style and legendary stint at AC Milan, it is high praise indeed for Alexander-Arnold.

Cafu also highlighted the timing of the potential transfer, insisting that Alexander-Arnold is in his prime and has the right experience to make an instant impact in Spain.
)
The Liverpool star, now 26, has over 250 appearances for the Merseyside club and 33 England caps under his belt. Cafu pointed out that he joined AC Milan at 33 and brought leadership and calm to a world-class squad, qualities he believes Trent would also bring to Real Madrid.
The move could also mark the end of an era for current Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal, whom Alexander-Arnold is expected to eventually replace if the deal materialises.
)
Cafu was crystal clear in his analysis, calling Trent “the perfect age, the perfect player” to slot into a Real Madrid team that might be undergoing a managerial change, especially with Carlo Ancelotti’s future uncertain following a disappointing Champions League exit.
