Ex-Liverpool star offers advice to Alexander-Arnold on potential Madrid move

Owen, who made the switch from Liverpool to Madrid in 2004, understands the complexities of such a life-changing decision. The former player enjoyed a season at the Bernabeu, scoring 16 goals in 46 appearances, before moving to Newcastle United.

Reflecting on his own career moves, Owen acknowledged the pressure of making such decisions and emphasised the importance of hindsight in determining whether a transfer was the right choice.

"If Trent called me, of course I would speak to him," he told the Liverpool Echo. "I've got plenty of people asking for advice, and if he reached out, I'd happily chat to him."

As Alexander-Arnold approaches the end of his Liverpool contract, recent reports suggest he could be heading to Madrid.

Owen added that the ultimate judgment of any transfer comes with time, stressing that decisions should be based on the available information at the moment, as players like the English right-back will have to live with their choices in the future. "There's no good or bad decision really. It's all about how it plays out in time," he concluded.
