Ancelotti's INCREDIBLE Alexander-Arnold SNUB ahead of Liverpool vs Real Madrid | OneFootball

Ancelotti’s Alexander-Arnold snub

The biggest admirer of Alexander-Arnold has been Real Madrid according to reports, and Los Blancos will be in town to take on Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Although Real Madrid are supposed to be the main suiter for Trent should he leave Merseyside, their manager Carlo Ancelotti inadvertently snubbed the 26-year-old in his pre-match press conference.

When asked if the plan was to play Fede Valverde at right-back for the clash, Ancelotti revealed he prefers Valverde to any other right-back not currently at Real Madrid.

“[Valverde] is a fantastic full-back. After [Dani] Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, the best right-back in the world.” Ancelotti told the press, via AS.

Although the remark is not a direct dig at Alexander-Arnold, the manager was effectively saying he think Valverde is a better option in the position than the Liverpool man.
