Gary Neville slams 'unforgivable' decision from Liverpool owners...

Although Liverpool is about to win the Premier League for the second time under their current owners, Gary Neville

is not impressed with FSG.

Gary Neville has attacked Liverpool’s owners, FSG, calling it “unforgivable” that they were unable to sign Trent

Alexander-Arnold, who is headed to Real Madrid, to a new contract.

expected to leave this summer and relocate for free to the Santiago Bernabeu when his current contract expires.

According to reports, Alexander-Arnold and Los Blancos have reached an agreement on a long-term contract worth

about £250,000 per week, which will be supplemented by a large eight-figure signing bonus.

He, like Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah, have been allowed to run down their contracts on Merseyside, with all three

able to walk away in the summer if they choose – although it’s understood both Van Dijk and Salah prefer to stay put.

But Neville is simply stunned that the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have let this happen, particularly at a

time when the Premier League leaders are on the verge of landing the title.

Neville made the following statement on the ‘Stick to Football’ podcast: “A few years ago, when Virgil Van Dijk was

going through a period in which he was teetering a little bit and (Mo) Salah was present, they looked at them and

said, ‘we’ll wait with you.'” And the players are most likely now resenting it.

“With Trent, there is no forgiveness. If you’re the club’s owner and you look at Trent two years ago, even if your

sporting department is having trouble, you’ll say, ‘We’ve got to sign him up, he’s one of our own.'” Regardless of

whether you’re going through difficult times in the boardroom or not.

However, Neville has cautioned Alexander-Arnold that things could not be as good in the Spanish city since he would

find it difficult to break into Carlo Ancelotti’s squad with Dani Carvajal and the incredibly versatile Fede Valverde

already there.

He went on: “I expressed my belief that he ought to take his defence more seriously. I’ve told him that over and over,

or else it will get to him. Given that Real Madrid has Dani Carvajal when he returns and Federico Valverde, who is

now playing right-back, I believe it will be an issue for him there.

“He’s going to have some serious competition. They are brilliant players, and he’s going to find it tough there.”
