Babel, who spoke in an exclusive interview, understands that fans might be upset by Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave. However, he believes that fans should respect the player's choice, as it's his career and he has the right to decide what's best for him. Babel reminded fans that he too had dreams of playing for other clubs when he was young, and it's natural for players to want to try new challenges.
Babel praised Alexander-Arnold for giving everything to Liverpool and representing the club well. He wishes him luck in his future endeavors and emphasizes that it's ultimately Alexander-Arnold's decision. The England international's teammates, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, have recently signed contract extensions, making Alexander-Arnold the only player to leave the club for free this summer.
Babel highlighted the importance of keeping Salah and Van Dijk, who are crucial to the team's success. He noted that their game is well-suited to Liverpool's style, with Van Dijk providing long passes and Salah making clever movements to create scoring opportunities. Babel believes that Liverpool will have to adapt to the possibility of losing either Salah or Van Dijk in the future, but for now, they still have enough to offer.
