Alexander-Arnold announced his decision to leave Liverpool in an emotional goodbye video posted on social media and his last appearance for the club is likely to come at Anfield against Crystal Palace in the Reds’ final Premier League game of the season.
It remains to be seen if Liverpool will allow the Englishman to join Real Madrid before the Club World Cup begins on 14 June or if he will be forced to wait until 1 July to formally complete his move to the Spanish giants.
Alexander-Arnold has won nine trophies during an illustrious spell at Liverpool, having joined the club’s academy at the age of six, and he will leave with over 350 first-team appearances under his belt.
