"He's a Lizard": UFC Star Paddy Pimblett Blasts Trent Alexander-Arnold Over Real Madrid Exit Rumours

"He's a Lizard": UFC Star Paddy Pimblett Blasts Trent Alexander-Arnold Over Real Madrid Exit Rumours

Liverpool-born UFC sensation Paddy Pimblett is fuming over the potential departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Spanish giants Real Madrid, lashing out at the Anfield star in a fiery rant that has sparked heated debate among fans.

Trent, whose current deal with Liverpool ends this summer, has reportedly been courted by the reigning UEFA Champions League winners. While no official confirmation has been made, strong links to Real Madrid have clearly upset a section of Liverpool's faithful — and Pimblett is leading the charge.

Speaking passionately, Pimblett didn’t hold back, branding the Liverpool right-back a "lizard" and accusing him of abandoning his roots.

“He’s meant to be a young lad from West Derby,” Pimblett said.
“He always said he wanted to be captain… so he was always lying, wasn’t he?”

In a tone full of emotion and disappointment, the MMA fighter continued:

“He could have been a legend at LFC… maybe even had a statue one day. Now he’s just going to be another cog in the machine at Real Madrid.”

🔥 Opinion: Harsh Words or Harsh Truth?

Pimblett’s raw emotion reflects the heart of many local fans who see Trent not just as a footballer, but as one of their own. A boy from Merseyside who made it to the top, winning trophies for the club he grew up supporting — the dream every Scouser holds close.

But should Trent be crucified for considering a move?

Football is as much a profession as it is a passion. For players like Trent, who have already achieved Premier League, Champions League, and Club World Cup success, a move to Real Madrid may represent a new challenge — a shot at greater legacy on the world stage, and yes, potentially more money too.

Yet, Pimblett’s frustration touches a deeper nerve: the idea that modern football is losing its soul. That loyalty is being replaced with ambition. That local legends are becoming global brands.

What’s Next for Trent?

With 349 appearances, 22 goals, and 89 assists, Trent’s Liverpool legacy is already impressive. But the question remains: will he cement it further by staying and chasing the captain’s armband — or trade it all for a place in Madrid's star-studded galaxy?

Either way, the decision won't just impact Liverpool's future on the pitch — it may also shape how one of its brightest sons is remembered in the city that raised him.

One thing’s certain: if he leaves, it won’t be quietly.
