Trent Alexander-Arnold has received support from his Liverpool teammates after announcing he will leave the club.

The 26-year-old will exit Anfield as a two-time Premier League winner when he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.

The Liverpool full-back has been the subject of long-standing interest from Real Madrid, with the Reds rejecting their approach in January, but his departure paves a move to the record Champions League holders.



Alexander-Arnold will bid farewell when the Reds are officially crowned champions of England following their encounter against Crystal Palace.

On Monday, the academy graduate posted an emotional message confirming that he will leave upon the expiry of his contract in the summer.

From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever.

I will forever be in debt to you all.
