Alexander-Arnold’s high-profile departure from Merseyside left many Liverpool supporters aggrieved, but Carragher believes the Reds should put hard feelings aside to solve their creative shortcomings on the pitch.

Speaking in an interview quoted by Spanish outlet AS, Carragher admitted that while the England international would face initial backlash from fans, returning to Liverpool remains the best move for his career.

“I would bring him back,” Carragher stated. “He would get a lot of criticism, because I think he made a mistake. I think he made a big mistake going to Madrid. We have certainly missed his creativity.”

Highlighting Alexander-Arnold’s drop in the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabéu, Carragher pointed out that midfielder Federico Valverde and summer signing Denzel Dumfries are both currently ahead of him in manager Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.

The pundit argued that being relegated to third-choice right-back sends a clear signal regarding the Spanish giants’ intentions, adding: “When you are the third option at a club, obviously they want you to leave.”
