What must be said regarding Trent’s saga is that he has refrained from making public comments since the beginning.
The reason Liverpool fans are agitated is that he has refused to end the rumours by telling his own truth.
Trent Alexander-Arnold could’ve simply stated publicly that he loves the club that raised him, but he doesn’t want to have any regrets at the end of his career.
‘I want a new chapter, would love to experience a different league, footballing culture and the fame that comes with Real Madrid’.
Simple as that.
It is a certainty that at some point in the last two seasons, Trent Alexander-Arnold was offered a new deal.
To allow such a valuable asset to reach the end of his contract without at least attempting to tie him down would be madness.
The Liverpool Board are if fact quite the contrary, as seen in their handling of the Salah and Van Dijk contracts.
The fact is he hasn’t signed it.
The Board know this, and have instead prioritized keeping the club captain Virgil Van Dijk and record holder for most Goals/Assists in a 38 game season Mo Salah.
It is hard to imagine what Trent Alexander-Arnold is feeling.
The answer only his friends and family know the answer.
I doubt it was reassuring of his desire to join.
Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk will be seen as some of the Liverpool’s greatest ever players by the time their careers at Anfield wrap up.
Most would agree the two are a class above Trent Alexander-Arnold in both stature and importance to the current Liverpool setup.
Both have now committed the remainder of their best years to Liverpool.
It makes you wonder, how does Trent Alexander-Arnold feel hearing such words from the club captain.
While he himself is showered with criticism by his own the people.

An innate human quality.
He would’ve hoped for plea’s to stay, perhaps from the club, the fans or the manager himself.
Instead he has already been replaced by Conor Bradley in almost every regard.
The fans love his energy, the manager clearly values his potential and the club are in talks to extend the Northern Irishman’s contract until at least 2030.
Just like that the Trent Alexander-Arnold has been put to the side.
It’s difficult to comprehend the scale of this decision for the career of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
His desire to leave and focus on his personal image and brand are clear
He is also vividly aware of what he is leaving behind.
Not only his boyhood club, but the fans that backed him through thick and thin.
He is about to turn his back on the very people that only wanted the best for him.
To reach is incredible potential and captain the club he supported as a kid.
Now he must join a team that is certainly not at the top of their game, with fans that are notorious for turning their backs on players in difficult moments.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is certainly having doubts
