Former Liverpool star, Danny Murphy has urged the Reds to sign Chelsea full-back Malo Gusto as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s replacement should the England defender leave Anfield at the end of the season.
Alexander-Arnold’s current contract with Liverpool will expire at the end of the season.
Liverpool are yet to extend his deal and as a result, the right-back has been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025.
However, Murphy believes Gusto would be a perfect replacement for Alexander-Arnold.
“My gut feeling is that he’s going to go. I think if he were to stay that would probably have been sorted by now,” Murphy told MyBettingSites.
“They should have tied him up a long time ago. It is a difficult one and quite unusual for Liverpool to have let this one happen. They should learn from it and it shouldn’t happen again.”
He added, “Malo Gusto would be a very interesting option but I don’t see how Chelsea would let him go.
“He’d be perfect but I don’t see Chelsea letting it happen where he walks out of the door and joins their competitors.”
