Trent Alexander-Arnold says his feelings for former club Liverpool will not change, no matter what reception he receives on his Anfield return with Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold was criticised by some Liverpool fans for the way he allowed his contract to expire, before eventually leaving in June for a reported cut-price £8.4m so he could join Real Madrid at the Fifa Club World Cup."No matter what, my feelings won't change towards Liverpool," the 27-year-old full-back told Amazon Prime, when asked if getting a good reception back at Anfield would give him closure."I have got memories there that will last me a lifetime and no matter how I am received, that won't change."He made 354 appearances for his boyhood club, turning out for the final time in May against Crystal Palace, after which they were presented with the Premier League trophy.Alexander-Arnold was one of three senior Liverpool players - alongside captain Virgil van Dijk and talisman Mohamed Salah - to enter the final year of their contracts last season.Van Dijk and Salah ended up signing new two-year deals in April, after which the spotlight turned solely on the England defender.

Posters were put up outside the ground by disgruntled supporters, questioning his loyalty to the club where he had won two league titles, as well as the Champions League, Fifa Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup."I think whichever way I am received is the decision of the fans," added Alexander-Arnold. "I will always love the club.

I will always be a fan of the club. I will always be thankful for the opportunities [Liverpool gave me] and everything that we achieved together will live with me forever."He also said he would not celebrate if he scored against Liverpool and revealed many of his former team-mates got in touch when the Champions League draw was confirmed."I spoke to Robbo [Andy Robertson], Mo [Salah], Ibu [Ibrahima Konate]," added Alexander-Arnold.
