Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold, has finally confirmed he is leaving the Premier League champions at the end of the season.
The England defender is now expected to sign for Real Madrid.
“This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life,”; Alexander-Arnold said in a message on social media on Monday.
Alexander-Arnold leaves his boyhood club as a free agent.
He came through the Liverpool academy and has played 352 times for the first team, winning two Premier League titles – including this season’s.
Alexander-Arnold also helped the Merseyside club win the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup trophies in 2019, and also lifted two Carabao Cups, one FA Cup, and one Community Shield.
The 26-year-old started this season as one of the three key Liverpool players out of contract this summer, and while Liverpool extended Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk’s deals by two years, they will lose Alexander-Arnold for no fee.
