Brazil legend Cafu believes Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is the perfect player for Real Madrid.
The Reds star, who scored the winner in Sunday’s win over Leicester, is expected to join the La Liga giants this summer.
Cafu has backed Alexander-Arnold, claiming he has the incredible ability to make a huge impact at the Bernabeu, while เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา dismissing the idea the England international is unable to play defensively.
“They said the same thing about me,” Cafu, a two-time World Cup winner, said at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Madrid.
“They said I don’t know how to play defense. It’s not true. It’s just his type of play.”
“It depends on what the coach wants. If they want you to attack, you attack. If they want you to defend, you defend.”
“He’s an incredible player and it would be a huge signing for Madrid if that happens.”
Alexander-Arnold has made 350 appearances for Liverpool since making his debut nine years ago, winning 33 caps for England.
And Cafu believes the 26-year-old’s experience will be invaluable to Real, likening the potential transfer to his own move to AC Milan at the backend of his career.
‘At 33, I went to AC Milan, and Trent will be taking experience to Madrid, too,’ added the Laureus Academy member.
‘He will take the place of Dani Carvajal if it does happen. He is the perfect age, the perfect player.’
