Liverpool fans are very aware that Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the final months of his contract and David Ornstein has provided his latest update.
Writing for The Athletic, the journalist stated: ‘Trent Alexander Arnold is expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent.’
It’s probably the news we all expected even if it’s not what we wanted to hear, especially after the match-winning moment from the right back this weekend.
Jamie Carragher has already asked supporters not to boo the England international, despite also sharing his empathy for the upset caused by this move.
Arne Slot’s side are on the cusp of winning the league and if it is the case that our No.66 is going to leave on a free transfer, then more fool him.
Rather than creating the wrong headlines about us as supporters, we’re best getting behind the team and enjoying a moment that we’ve all waited so long for.
Trent Alexander-Arnold seems destined for Real Madrid
The post match comments from the Scouser, after his heroics at the King Power Stadium, showcased a player keeping their true intentions under cover.
We’ve seen this all season from Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah too, though now they have signed their deals – there’s nowhere to hide for the academy graduate.
As the days pass, it seems clear that the 26-year-old will be playing away from Anfield next season and his repercussions will be felt whenever he does return, though not yet.
It hurts because Trent Alexander-Arnold is a great player who is turning his back on his own people, as long as he’s a Red we should support him but after that – any response is of his own making.

Wish Trent all the best and great goal he scored last week to seal the win. Will be sad to see him go but this is all the fault of FSG as we will be losing a special world class star for free. Our owners are to blame as a new deal was not sorted for him years ago. Just shows their bad business acumen in this instance. Losing him when he is in his prime for free is indefensible by FSG.
All my best wishes to Trent for a stellar future and many thanks for your service over the years, you have been instrumental in the success of our club, a true champion.
Agree totally were owned by asset builders not football people. I do think his move is ill timed as I see Liverpool getting stronger and a bigger threat than real Madrid on the field. Fab football player sad it has come to this. I hope FSG. SUPPORTS Slott and Co in the transfer market as lack of depth cost us 2 extra trophies this season. Best of luck Trent.
Come on he’s a traytor hope he stays in Madrid and takes his traytor family with him good riddance don’t need turncoats here we’ll knock real out of the champions league next year it’s written in the stars and just like Owen he’ll know pretty early “big mistake “
Check your facts before posting. Trent was offered a 5-year deal 2 years ago, which he was reluctant to sign, so this was redressed to 3 years the same year Jurgen said he’s leaving. This gave him.the opportunity to say he’s waiting to see who.the new manager is so he again refused to sign. It seems the plan was always to join Madrid. Whilst we were all hoping that Trent was tapping up Jude whilst he was still at Dortmund in reality they were planning their escape to.Madrid and the countless riches in order for them to jointly purchase their own club most likely French.
You put all facts together.FSG tried twice he refused.We wish him all the best.But we have a long list of players who left the way he will be leaving and karma found them.
Well all he has to do is sign another contract with Liverpool but he prefers to walk away on a free. Was he asking too much money maybe? It’s easy to blame the owners but we don’t know the facts.
Looks like Trent is going the way of Michael Owen. If his ambition was to emulate Steven Gerrard, he should act like Steven Gerrard in terms of his commitment to Liverpool. Someone who has a real ambition to to captain Liverpool FC does not change ships halfway. I can imagine he will get Owen’s treatment from fans if he returns to play at Anfield wearing another team’s jersey.
Not bad business but still gym and greedy owners. They only buy cheap and have been fortunate to buy players who Adapted and improved while at Liverpool
All my best wishes to Trent and thanks for everything you have done for us
It disappointing to see a great scouser who’s become the great player,turning his back on thr club that made him! But Kevin Keegan left for Germany and everyone said how are we going to replace him. King Kenny came in and he was in my opinion the greatest no 7 after George Best,England had ever seen,if not the world.
