Trent Alexander-Arnold says he will leave Liverpool after the 2024/25 season. This ends two decades at his childhood club. The 26-year-old right-back says it is the hardest decision of his life. He spoke to fans in a moving message after they had been guessing about his plans for months.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Alexander-Arnold shared a heartfelt statement to announce his choice. He said he wanted to focus on Liverpool’s season before talking about his future. He thanked fans for their loyalty. He also looked back at his journey from a six-year-old in the academy to winning every major trophy. This includes Premier League and Champions League wins.
Alexander-Arnold’s contract ends in June. Liverpool are now Premier League champions for the 2024/25 season. The club tried hard to keep him, even renewing contracts for key teammates. But Trent is ready for a new chapter. Real Madrid is thought to be his next team, but it is not confirmed yet.
LIVERPOOL’S SEASON AND TRENT’S IMPACT
This season, Liverpool won their 20th league title. They finished ahead of Manchester City. Alexander-Arnold had a big role, giving many assists and strong defensive play. In his Premier League career, he has played 257 games, with 64 assists and 18 goals. He has also created over 500 chances for his team.
Fans wanted him to stay, especially after new contracts for Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. But he wants a new challenge.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR ALEXANDER-ARNOLD AND LIVERPOOL?
Liverpool will end the season as league champions. They want to finish strongly before Alexander-Arnold leaves. The last games should be celebrations, but they must also think about how to replace him at right-back.
If Alexander-Arnold joins Real Madrid, he could play with England teammate Jude Bellingham. Liverpool’s next game is against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are trying to avoid relegation. This gives fans another chance to say goodbye.
