‘How can you turn that down?’
Gabby Agbonlahor has criticised some Liverpool fans for their hostile reaction to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move.
Alexander-Arnold has split the Reds fanbase after deciding to leave Anfield to join Real Madrid on a free this summer.
However, Agbonlahor believes his decision is the right one and laid out the reasons why the right-back will have chosen to leave.
He said on talkSPORT Breakfast: “I think anybody that says anything negative about this decision is an idiot basically.
“Any Liverpool fan out there, any other fanbase…Trent has won every trophy for his boyhood club. He’s got a chance to play at the biggest club in the world who have won 15 Champions Leagues.
“How can you turn that down?
“You’re going to play with Mbappe, you’re going to play with your mate Jude Bellingham from England at a historic club.
“Obviously, Liverpool are a very historic club, but Real Madrid, you just do not turn them down, it doesn’t matter who you are.
“Players in the past that maybe have said that they have, they’re lying. Real Madrid probably didn’t want them. Anyone who gets the offer from Real Madrid, you go.
“Trent would never leave for any club in the Premier League, wouldn’t leave for AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, wouldn’t leave for Bayern Munich…I don’t think he’d leave for Barcelona even with how big they are.
“Real Madrid, you don’t turn them down. Football aside, lifestyle – Jude Bellingham will be telling him everything, the lifestyle as a Real Madrid player.”
