The tension at Anfield is rising again, this time surrounding one of Liverpool’s senior defenders. After his latest remarks stirred up speculation about a possible move to Real Madrid, many Reds supporters have taken to social media urging the club to part ways with him in January.Arne Slot has already overseen a dramatic overhaul of the squad this summer. Record signing Alexander Isak was joined by Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, while big names such as Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all sealed headline-making exits. Now, another departure may soon follow.According to Football Insider, Liverpool are prepared to consider offers for the French centre-back in the winter window, especially with contract talks stalling. The 25-year-old, who has clocked up 136 appearances since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2021, is nearing the end of his current deal.🔥 The situation escalated after a cheeky comment in an interview with French outlet Telefoot. Asked about Real Madrid’s interest, the defender joked that Kylian Mbappé calls him “every two hours” to convince him to join. He even faced questions about whether he spoke Spanish — a pointed reminder of Alexander-Arnold’s surprise language reveal at his Real Madrid unveiling earlier this summer.Madrid’s ongoing interest and Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi could accelerate the decision. With Guehi still on their radar after a failed deadline-day move, the Reds may use January as an opportunity to refresh their back line.The reaction from supporters has been fierce. Many feel let down by the defender’s comments and believe the club should “cash in now” rather than risk losing him for free next summer. Calls like “Sell him in January” and “Get him gone, bring in Guehi” have summed up the mood among the fanbase.As things stand, Liverpool face a pivotal decision: extend his contract, or let him go before Real Madrid make their move.
