Paddy Pimblett Blasts Trent Alexander-Arnold Over Shocking Betrayal in Bombshell Move to Real Madrid
Paddy Pimblett Slams Trent Alexander-Arnold for Abandoning Liverpool in Stunning Switch to Real Madrid
Rumors of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential free transfer to Real Madrid have been circulating for the better part of six months, with numerous reports claiming the right-back has turned down a contract extension to stay at his boyhood club, Liverpool.
The local lad is expected to sign a five-year deal with Real Madrid, starting next season once his current contract at Anfield runs out. It’s no surprise that Liverpool fans haven’t taken this well. The fiercely loyal Scouse faithful have made their feelings clear—none more passionately than UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett.

“He’s a snake. This is a lad from West Derby, someone who’s supposed to represent the city,” Paddy said. “I’ve said it before — I’d give up my whole career just to have his. Imagine winning trophies for your hometown club, the team you’ve supported your entire life. That’s the dream.”
“With the kind of money he’s already earning, and the offers still coming in, he had the chance to keep bringing joy to the people of Liverpool. I was raised admiring iconic players such as Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, and Luis Suárez. And now he’s walking away from the club he grew up supporting, just to become another nameless part of the machine at Real Madrid.”
“He could’ve been a Liverpool legend. He always talked about wanting to be captain. Clearly, that was never the truth.”
“I think he’s lost touch with his roots,” Paddy said bluntly. “He’s thrown away the chance to become a true legend — maybe even have a statue outside Anfield one day.”
While Paddy likely had a few more colorful words to say off-camera, it’s clear that, like many Liverpool fans, he feels betrayed. The move has clearly shifted how supporters view Trent’s loyalty and character.
He's no scouser ❌

Pimblett is just one of countless Liverpool supporters who’ve turned their backs on the academy graduate. In contrast, Trent has stayed silent, keeping a low profile and avoiding the media spotlight — offering no public comment on his potential departure.
According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, Trent is reportedly “saddened” by the backlash surrounding the news. Still, with no official confirmation of the deal, it remains to be seen how — or if — he’ll fit into Real Madrid’s star-studded lineup.
