Trent Alexander-Arnold's brother Marcell has responded to the news that the Liverpool right-back will depart Anfield upon the expiry of his contract next month.

The full-back has put an end to months of speculation by confirming he will leave his boyhood club at the end of June.

Having been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, he now seems set to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer.

Alexander-Arnold took to social media to share a video announcing his departure on Monday morning, in which he stated: "After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season.

This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.

"I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team’s best interests, which was securing No.20.

"This club has been my whole life – my whole world - for 20 years.

"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.

But, I have never known anything else and this decision is about experiencing a new challenge, taking myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself both professionally and personally.

"I’ve given my all every single day I’ve been at this club, and I hope you feel like I’ve given back to you during my time here.

"From the bottom of my heart, I thank everybody – my coaches, my managers, my teammates, the staff and our incredible supporters - for the last 20 years.

"I’ve been blessed enough to live out my dreams here and I will never, ever take for granted the special moments I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived through with you all.

My love for this club will never die."
