Liverpool's situation is no exception, as Wenger stated that the club is not going to win any more trophies this season, and the timing of Alexander-Arnold's announcement gives them time to look for another defender. Wenger also pointed out that Alexander-Arnold's departure is a loss for Liverpool, as he is a creative full-back who will be difficult to replace.

Wenger believes that the transfer market has become a new game, where big clubs can lure top players away from their current clubs by offering them high wages and making them an attractive offer. This is evident in the way Real Madrid approached Alexander-Arnold two years ago and is now reaping the benefits.

During his time at Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold won several titles, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup. Wenger's comments suggest that despite his success, Alexander-Arnold's departure is a sign of the changing transfer landscape.

Wenger also mentioned that Real Madrid's approach to Kylian Mbappe was similar, where they approached him a long time ago and eventually signed him.
