Trent Alexander-Arnold risked upsetting new manager with Liverpool preference shown
This time last year, Trent Alexander-Arnold made it clear he favoured Jurgen Klopp taking the reins at England following the departure of Gareth Southgate, but ran the risk of upsetting Thomas Tuchel in doing so Trent Alexander-Arnold risked upsetting Thomas Tuchel by favouring Jurgen Klopp for the England job this time last year. The right-back broke through at Anfield under the stewardship of Klopp in 2016, going on to win a Premier League title, an FA Cup, an EFL Cup, a Community Shield and a Champions League alongside the German mastermind. However, when Klopp called time on his nine-year tenure at Anfield at the end of 2023/24 and Gareth Southgate - with whom he earned most of his 34 caps at England - left his own job with the England national team following a loss in the final of Euro 2024, it didn't take Alexander-Arnold long to speak on the possibility of Klopp taking the reins of the Three Lions. In an exclusive interview with Mirror Football last July, Alexander-Arnold drew parallels between the sentiments of Klopp and Southgate stepping down from their respective teams that he was a part of, while claiming he would love to see Klopp branch out into the international game. He said: "It was similar to how I felt when my club manager Jurgen Klopp was leaving. They were the people who gave me my debuts, and made my dreams come true." Asked about Klopp taking up tenure with the Three Lions, he added: "I enjoyed every moment I worked with him, we shared amazing memories, forged an amazing relationship, an amazing bond. So, of course, if that were to happen, we would pick up where we left off." The 26-year-old did ultimately concede that it was unlikely that Klopp would take the job however, adding: "I would be surprised if he did take it. It was clear when he announced when he was leaving, the conversations I have had with him, everything on social media, he seems to be enjoying his time off, so it would be a huge surprise." Former Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, PSG and Bayern Munich boss Tuchel was named as Southgate's successor last October, and Alexander-Arnold's previous comments on a reunion with Klopp could have easily backfired on the star should the 51-year-old have been particularly touchy about them. Thankfully, it appears as though Alexander-Arnold's opinion hasn't hampered his relationship with Tuchel, as he returned to the international set-up for last month's World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Senegal. Meanwhile, Tuchel was also very complimentary of Alexander-Arnold as his future at Liverpool was thrown into question towards the back end of last season. The full-back entered 2024/25 in the final 12 months of his contract at Anfield, and found himself linked with a move to Real Madrid for the majority of the season before ultimately making the move to the Bernabeu at the end of May. And in June, Tuchel was quick to give Alexander-Arnold advice for his time with the La Liga giants should he hope to represent his nation during international tournaments. He said: "Like every other player, he needs to play and get minutes, and be competitive on the highest level. It's as easy as that. There was a lot going on for Trent in the last weeks. "Even now with the change of city, change of environment, change of country, change of club. Let's see. I wish him all the best and he was in camp and like every other player be there, be competitive, find your place, keep your place, and be ready for nomination in September. "Trent is Trent. He's a special player, it makes not so much sense to focus on a part of his game that's not his strength. We all know what he can give to a team. If he steps up to his highest level he will always be in contention for nomination." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Liverpool v AC Milan: Team lineups and updates from Hong Kong
12:10PM Today's line-ups Liverpool Here's how the Reds line-up in Hong Kong 👊🔴 Watch the game LIVE on All Red Video ⤵️ #LFCPreSeason — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 26, 2025 AC Milan Team news from Hong Kong 📋 — AC Milan (@acmilan) July 26, 2025 12:08PM Liverpool's busy summer... to be continued? Having built up a reputation for modest spending and measured dealing - relative to other clubs in the top six, that is - it's surprising to see that on top of the signings mentioned below, Liverpool are reportedly ready to spend another £120m on Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. The asking price is £150m, but even if Liverpool do barter down, they'll break Chelsea's record for spending in a summer transfer window. Should that happen, Arne Slot will have to hope his charges fare better. In Todd Boehly's first window, Chelsea signed 13 players for a total of £405m with mixed fortunes. Success stories like Moises Caicedo (£115m), Cole Palmer (£40m), and PSR successes like Djordje Petrovic (£14m, sold for £25m) have been heavily mitigated by disasters like Christopher Nkunku (£53m), and the injury-hampered Romeo Lavia (£58m). Chelsea's PSR navigation has been viewed with contention, so how have Liverpool handled it? You can read in full here. 11:58AM Liverpool's busy summer Liverpool's current summer spend totals a whopping £270m, £300m if you include the fee they paid Valencia for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili last August - a deal that saw the Georgian immediately loaned back for the season. Should the requisite add-on clauses be triggered, their signing of Florian Wirtz for an initial £100m will become a British-record at £116m. Here are the other signings this summer: Hugo Ekitike - £69m from Eintracht Frankfurt Freddie Woodman - free from Preston North End Milos Kerkez - £40m from Bournemouth Jeremie Frimpong - £35m from Bayer Leverkusen Armin Pecsi - £1.5m from Puskas Akademia 11:48AM New blood in classic fixture Liverpool and AC Milan play their second fixtures of pre-season at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong this afternoon, as the Premier League champions take another look at a number of new signings as their prolific summer transfer window rolls on. Whilst in attendance, their newest signing, Hugo Ekitike - signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for an initial £69m - is not named in the match-day squad, but there will be a chance for further inspection on Florian Wirtz from the start. Elsewhere new signings Freddie Woodman, Giogri Mamardashvili, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong all feature from the bench, whilst youngsters Rio Ngumoha, Tyler Morton, and Luca Stephenson all start. Meanwhile, Joe Gomez won't feature, instead flying home today to get treatment on an Achilles issue having trained out in Asia earlier this week. Liverpool TV's pre-match coverage have reported that the squad are looking forward to their first 'proper' fixture of pre-season, and whilst today's opponents languished in eighth in the Serie A last season, it's certainly an esteemed fixture. Since the infamous Champions League final in 2005, they've played four times, with Milan avenging that defeat in the 2007 final before three Liverpool wins; twice in 2021 and a 3-1 win in September of last year. Milan's lineup is TBA, but we can expect to see some summer signings of equal stature to Liverpool's, with none other than Luka Modric joining, alongside midfielder Samuele Ricci. They lost in real time, but won on a gratuitous penalty shootout vs Arsenal just three days ago, and have big motivation to prove themselves today after an underwhleming season last year. Kick off is 12.30pm, stay tuned!
