Jamie Carragher believes Trent Alexander-Arnold's ambitions regarding the Ballon d'Or hint at a move

Jamie Carragher has described Trent Alexander-Arnold's statement that he would prefer to win the Ballon d'Or over the World Cup or another Champions League title as strange. The Liverpool legend believes this could be a sign that the Reds' defender is planning a move to Real Madrid at the end of his contract.

Quote. “He chose the Ballon d'Or, which I think is a bit strange or even absurd. I would always choose the World Cup or the Champions League; it's a team game, but he has massive ambitions, and why not?

You only get one career. But the first thing that came to my mind when I read that interview is that he seems to be heading to Real.”
