10m for a month of Alexander-Arnold exposes absurdity of Club World Cup | Barney Ronay
Briefly

Real Madrid has reached an agreement to release Trent Alexander-Arnold, enabling his participation in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. This shift comes during a quieter period in soccer after the league has concluded. The article reflects on the emotional responses of fans, particularly Liverpool supporters saddened by their star player's departure, while also highlighting the absurd financial aspects and passion that fuel football culture. The discussion contrasts Liverpool's structured game against Real Madrid's more flexible style, suggesting a better fit for Alexander-Arnold in Madrid's less rigid roles.
If we all just sat around taking the rational view and refusing to Become Emotional the whole thing would last about three minutes before everyone cleared their throats.
The whole thing seems less important now. The Trent-Exit saga was something to talk about because the league was done. Time moves on, often in deeply strange ways.
