Just one week after celebrating his second Premier League title with Liverpool, Trent Alexander-Arnold confirmed he is leaving the club at the end of the season.
Following a 20-year career with Liverpool that began at age six, Alexander-Arnold will bid farewell to Merseyside once his contract expires this summer. The England international won everything there is to win at his boyhood club, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League title.
Instead of signing a contract extension with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. The 26-year-old posted an emotional video in which he announced the news, calling his impending departure the "hardest decision" of his life.
Check out the full announcement below.
While Liverpool fans have mixed reactions to the news, Alexander-Arnold's teammates of past and present are showing their support on social media.
Curtis Jones reposted Alexander-Arnold's announcement video on Instagram and shared, "Thank you for everything brother. Legend. Good luck."
