In a heartfelt message on social media, Alexander-Arnold revealed, “This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.” He thanked Liverpool for the support he’s received during his time with the club, having made 352 appearances and won multiple trophies, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cups.
