And the former Reds centre-back - who played his entire career at Anfield - believes the 26-year-old will now suffer the same fate as Michael Owen, who also swapped Liverpool for Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold is now set to seal a move to the Bernabeu after announcing his decision to leave Liverpool when his contract expires on June 30.

Carragher has responded to criticism of Liverpool fans for their anger at Alexander-Arnold’s decision to leave and, writing in his Telegraph column, says it’s natural for supporters to feel frustrated when homegrown talent leaves.

He said: "Liverpool fans are being told their reaction to Alexander-Arnold leaving is emotional more than sensible.

"My response to that is who is really the naive and deluded one when analysing how fans feel about such transfers?
