After two decades at his boyhood club, Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season — and he’s expected to join Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old right-back broke the news in a heartfelt social media post, calling it the “hardest decision” of his life. “This club has been my world for 20 years,” he wrote. “Now it’s time to take on a new challenge.”
Liverpool had pushed hard to keep him, offering one of the most lucrative deals ever for a full-back. But despite the offer — and the club celebrating its 20th league title last month — Alexander-Arnold has decided it’s time for a new chapter.
A Legacy at Anfield
Trent joined Liverpool’s academy at just six years old and made his senior debut in 2016. Since then, he’s racked up over 350 appearances, winning everything from the Premier League to the Champions League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup.
He’s been more than a defender. His creativity, vision, and influence from right-back helped redefine the position in modern football.
A Move to Madrid
Now, he’s expected to swap Anfield for the Bernabéu. Sources say Alexander-Arnold has chosen Real Madrid as his next destination and will sign as a free agent once the season ends.
Madrid have long admired the Englishman and reportedly made an approach back in January. While Liverpool turned down their offer then, they were unable to tie Trent down to a new deal.
The End of an Era
For Liverpool fans, the news hits hard. Social media has been filled with tributes, thank-you messages, and emotional farewells. For many, Alexander-Arnold represents not just success — but identity, loyalty, and the heart of the club’s modern era.
For Real Madrid, it’s a statement signing. A player in his prime with years of top-flight and Champions League experience. And for Trent, it’s a bold step into the unknown — a test of his talent and ambition on one of football’s biggest stages.
As he prepares to say goodbye, there’s no doubt: he’s leaving as a Liverpool legend.
