Real Madrid Should Learn From Their Gerrard Pursuit In 2010 – Arne Slot

Liverpool manager, Arne Slot has come out to cite Steven Gerrard’s example to warn Real Madrid over their Trent Alexander-Arnold pursuit. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he remembers Jose Mourinho trying to sign Gerrard in 2010, but the English midfielder ended up rejecting the offer to stay back at his boyhood club.

Slot added that it’s not about who Madrid wants, it’s about the decision of the player in the end.

His words, “There was one player (Gerrard) they would have really loved to have but he didn’t come. You know him better than me. So it has happened.”

WOW.

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.

Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.

It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.

Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
