Liverpool find out Alexander-Arnold decision

The homegrown ace has won everything that there is to win with the Anfield outfit, including the Champions League and two Premier League titles and feels like it is time for a new challenge.

Trophy	Times won
Premier League	2
Champions League	1
FA Cup	1
Carabao Cup	2
UEFA Super Cup	1
FIFA Club World Cup	1

The local lad has won lots of trophies.

He announced via his personal X account that he will leave the Merseyside club when his contract expires in the summer.

The England star thanked the supporters, the staff, his teammates, and his managers in his statement that he released.

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.

This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.

Alexander-Arnold exit leaves Liverpool fans reeling

It had been expected for months but it is now finally confirmed, Alexander-Arnold will depart from the club that he has been at since the age of six.

It is a devastating blow for the L4 outfit, both on and off the pitch and supporters have not taken the announcement well.

Really disappointing that you’ve done this, but we knew this was happening before you said a word, all the best. You will need it.

Words can’t explain how disappointed we are in you, you have betrayed your city and people for money.

We’re all allowed different opinions.

My opinion on this is you do not leave your boyhood club on a free transfer. https://t.co/tsTh4L019P

Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have a tough job replacing the right-back, with questions over Conor Bradley's fitness despite his status as heir apparent.

He is one of the best players in world football with the ball at his feet, so it will be difficult to replace his creative impact, but the loss is much more of a blow off the pitch.

The allure of the Spanish giants is well documented, with an increased fame and fortune and a higher chance to win the Ballon d'Or.

However, many fans hoped that the star would stay on Merseyside as they are also contending for the highest honours and winning trophies with your boyhood club should be the pinnacle of the game.

That has proved not to be the case, for Alexander-Arnold anyway, in a cruel twist for Reds supporters after they won a 20th league title.

He will forever be a legend at Anfield, but his legacy may be tarnished after he decided to leave.
