In a deeply emotional announcement that stunned the football world, Liverpool vice-captain and homegrown star Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season. The 26-year-old right-back, who joined Liverpool’s academy at just six years old, shared his heartfelt message shortly after the team secured the Premier League title:
“Being part of this incredible team and winning the league is the perfect ending to my Liverpool journey. I leave with immense gratitude — to the club, my teammates, and especially the fans. I’ll always be a Red. This isn’t goodbye, just a ‘see you later.’”
Alexander-Arnold’s departure signals the close of a remarkable chapter for Liverpool. Since his debut in 2016, he has played over 350 games and been a key figure in some of the club’s greatest triumphs — including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup. His creativity and technical brilliance transformed the expectations of a modern full-back.
The announcement has cast a bittersweet shadow over Liverpool’s 20th league title celebrations. Fans have taken to social media to share memories and express their love for the local legend.
Although no move has been confirmed, speculation is swirling around a potential transfer to Real Madrid.
As Liverpool looks ahead, replacing Alexander-Arnold will be no small task. His influence on and off the field has been immense — a true embodiment of the club’s spirit and ambition.
