Liverpool, May 5 (NationPress) After weeks of speculation, Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially announced that he will not renew his contract and will part ways with Liverpool at the conclusion of the current season.
While a new destination has yet to be revealed, Real Madrid's long-standing admiration for the talented wingback has been one of football's not-so-secret secrets, and an announcement is anticipated shortly.
In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Trent conveyed that this is the most challenging choice he has ever faced.
“After spending 20 years with Liverpool Football Club, I must confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season. This is undoubtedly the hardest decision I've made in my life.
“I realize many of you have been curious about my silence on this matter or have felt frustrated by it, but my primary goal was to focus entirely on the team's best interests, which was to secure No.20,” he expressed in the social media post.
Alexander-Arnold joined Liverpool's Academy at just six years old, advancing through the ranks before making his senior debut in 2016. To date, he has made 352 appearances for the Reds, scoring 23 goals and earning eight major titles, including this season's Premier League championship.
“This club has been my entire life – my whole world – for two decades. From my time in the Academy to now, the support and affection I have received from everyone, both inside and outside the club, will remain with me forever. I am eternally grateful to all of you.
“However, I have never known anything else, and this decision is driven by my desire to embrace a new challenge, step out of my comfort zone, and grow both professionally and personally,” Trent added.
This decision marks the end of his two-decade association with the Reds, as he plans to leave Anfield upon the expiration of his contract on June 30, 2025.
“I’ve given my all every single day during my time at this club, and I hope you feel that I’ve reciprocated your support. From the depths of my heart, I thank everyone – my coaches, my managers, my teammates, the staff, and our incredible supporters – for the past 20 years.
“I’ve been fortunate to realize my dreams here, and I will always cherish the special moments I have experienced with all of you. My love for this club will never fade,” he concluded.
