Trent Alexander-Arnold To Leave Liverpool At Season’s End In Emotional Farewell

Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing an end to a remarkable 20-year association with his boyhood club. The England international described the decision as the “hardest” of his life.

The 26-year-old right-back, who played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s recent Premier League title win, is widely expected to join Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer once his contract expires.

“After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season,” Alexander-Arnold announced in a heartfelt message posted on X (formerly Twitter). “This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.”

Liverpool’s latest league triumph saw the Reds draw level with Manchester United on 20 top-flight titles — a milestone Alexander-Arnold was determined to reach before addressing his future.

“I know many of you have wondered why I haven’t spoken about this yet,” he wrote. “But it was always my intention to focus fully on helping the team secure title number 20.”

Reflecting on his two-decade journey, Alexander-Arnold expressed deep gratitude to the club and its supporters.

“This club has been my whole life — from the Academy through to the first team. The support and love I’ve received from everyone, inside and outside the club, will stay with me forever. My love for this club will never die.”

Since making his senior debut in 2016, Alexander-Arnold has made 352 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 23 goals and winning eight major trophies, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup.

Liverpool acknowledged his departure in a statement, saying: “Trent Alexander-Arnold will leave with our utmost gratitude and appreciation for his immense contribution during a historic era of success.”

As one of the club’s most iconic homegrown talents, Alexander-Arnold’s exit marks the end of an era for Liverpool — and the beginning of a new chapter in his distinguished career.
