Football/Trent Alexander-Arnold under pressure, Laporta on the Chopping Block, and Dani Olmo Courted by AC Milan
Several hot topics are making headlines in European sports media, including Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance, the pressure on Joan Laporta at FC Barcelona, and Dani Olmo’s future.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s right-back, has come under heavy criticism after the 2-2 draw against Manchester United. Defensively vulnerable, he was directly involved in both goals conceded by the Reds. Additionally, his lack of offensive effectiveness contributed to the general disappointment. English tabloids, such as the Daily Star and Daily Mirror, have highlighted his shortcomings, even suggesting that his ongoing negotiations with Real Madrid underscore his current struggles.
Meanwhile, in Barcelona, Joan Laporta is facing increasing pressure. The Catalan president is being criticized for unresolved issues surrounding Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, and his future at the club is now uncertain. Opponents are calling for his resignation, with a motion of no confidence being discussed.
Finally, Dani Olmo, who has been free since January, is attracting interest from AC Milan. The Italian club is considering a peculiar offer for him to play six months at Milan before potentially returning to Barça. However, Olmo remains optimistic that his contract situation with Barcelona will be resolved quickly.
