He now confirms that he might be staying at Liverpool
Real Madrid remain confident they have wrapped up a deal for Alexander-Arnold, who will publicly confirm his decision in the coming weeks.
While Trent Arnold us still expected to join Real Madrid the deal has yet to be signed and there is still a chance he could decide not to leave.
The right-back is also under pressure from fans and the club to stay at Anfield.
Now, the former scout who has a wealth of experience in top-level player recruitment after over a decade at Man United during their most successful period, has suggested the right-back may be put off of the move after Ancelotti’s exit.
“I think there’s a chance he stays at Liverpool,” he told Football Insider.
“It’s gone on throughout the season, there’s been so much talk, but it’s not signed yet.
“There’s definitely something in the fact that Carlo Ancelotti might be leaving Real Madrid.
“That might give Trent a reason to question his decision whether he goes or he doesn’t.
“It looks to me like Madrid are entering a rebuilding phase, and that will cause uncertainty for Trent Alexander-Arnold because he might not fit under a new manager.
“He knew Ancelotti from his time on Merseyside and that played a big part in the interest.
“All of a sudden, this twist has been thrown in at the last minute, so he’ll be asking questions and perhaps having second thoughts.
“The possibility is there that he might, under pressure from fans and from the club, stay at Liverpool.“
