As Trent Alexander-Arnold's transfer to Real Madrid looms, many Liverpool fans may feel the right-back is departing too soon, particularly given his hints about next season.

The defender is due to become a free agent at the end of this season, and despite Liverpool's best efforts in contract talks, it seems he's set on leaving Merseyside.

Madrid have been keeping tabs on the situation for a year, and are reportedly ready to secure his services.



Alexander-Arnold will be aiming to end his time at Liverpool by aiding them to Premier League title victory, having been a key player under Arne Slot.

This decision came after Alexander-Arnold had replicated Steven Gerrard's famous celebration at Old Trafford of kissing the camera, reports the Express.

After his goal was confirmed by goal-line technology, the full-back emulated Liverpool legend Gerrard's iconic camera-kissing celebration from 2014.

Post-match, Alexander-Arnold shared with Sky Sports: "Next time, we're coming back."

Yet, it appears that Alexander-Arnold's last performance at Old Trafford has likely unfolded unless a future European draw pits Madrid against United.

It seems he will depart Liverpool without having the chance to fulfil his departing words.

Eyes are now on how Liverpool responds to losing their renowned No.
