ECHO readers have been weighing in on Trent Alexander-Arnold's decision to say goodbye to Liverpool FC and make the leap to Real Madrid, reflecting on his impactful time at the club and the nature of his departure.

Alexander-Arnold has finally put an end to the swirling rumours by declaring his plan to exit Liverpool upon the expiration of his current contract next month, setting the stage for a no-cost switch to Los Blancos.

The vice-captain of the Reds will bid farewell to his childhood team as June comes to a close, with a free transfer to Madrid all but confirmed after spending more than 20 years at Anfield.

Following a season marked by reticence concerning his future commitments, Alexander-Arnold broke the silence via his social media platforms at 10am on Monday.

He looks good enough but has to prove he can stay fit enough."

Darwinism comments: "Klopp, Slot and 15 time European champions Real Madrid think he's one of the the best right backs in the world.

If you think you know better than Klopp, Slot and Real Madrid - that's cute, ain't you precious?

And address the shortcomings we saw."

Ceelers adds: "One thing for certain is that Trent has bags of quality about him, that quality needs to be replaced, not a great defender but a genius with his range of passing, free kicks, assists and goals, that was the payoff, in recent weeks when he’s not played when injured, we’ve looked lacking in creating chances, good luck Trent thanks for the memories."

Speckey comments: "The issue is not that he is leaving for Real Madrid.

Everyone would have been happy.

"He has also made another mistake in thinking he is actually good enough for Real Madrid.

Good luck to him (except when they play us, of course)."

MrJohnson1st says: "Good on him, done amazing for LFC been a role model for the children of the city for 20 years."

Do you believe that Trent will flourish at Real Madrid?
