Liverpool’s official statement read: “The 26-year-old will bring his two-decade-long association with the Reds to an end, having made the decision to depart Anfield once his deal ceases on June 30, 2025.”

The news will come as a shock to fans of the newly crowned Champions who were hoping that the talented defender will join icons Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk to commit to the club.

Alexander-Arnold’s story with Liverpool is the stuff of legend. Joining the club’s academy at just six years old, he rose through the ranks to make his senior debut in 2016.

Since then, he’s racked up 352 appearances, scored 23 goals, and provided countless assists with his world-class vision and pinpoint passing.

His trophy cabinet gleams with eight major honors, including the Premier League, Champions League, and this season’s Premier League title.

Speaking emotionally about his decision, Alexander-Arnold said: “First and foremost, I want to say it’s not an easy decision, and there’s a lot of thought and feeling that has gone into it. I’ve been here 20 years now, loved every single minute of it, achieved all my dreams, everything I’ve ever wanted to here.”

“Giving everything day in, day out for 20 years, I’ve got to a point now where I feel like I need a new change, a new challenge for me as a player and as a person. And I think now is the right time for me to do that.”
