Trent Alexander-Arnold Confirms Liverpool Exit, Expected Join Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of his contract this summer, ending a 20-year association with the club. His decision, described as seeking 'a new change, a new challenge,' follows months of speculation and comes after Liverpool's recent Premier League title win. Real Madrid is expected to sign Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, though official confirmation is still pending. While Liverpool made efforts to retain him, Alexander-Arnold communicated his intentions to club leadership earlier in the year, giving them time to prepare for his departure. The announcement has prompted mixed reactions from supporters—ranging from gratitude for his contributions to frustration over his exit on a free transfer—and heartfelt tributes from teammates. Liverpool acknowledged his departure in an official statement, emphasizing his legacy as one of their greatest academy graduates and most creative defenders.
