Alexander-Arnold said earlier on his X platform, "After 20 years at Liverpool, it's time for me to decide it's time for me to leave. It was the hardest decision I've ever made in my life, and I know a lot of people are speculating about the reasons or frustrated that I'm not explaining to the outside world, but my intention has always been to focus on the good of the team, which is to win the 20th league title.

This club is my whole life, my whole world, from the youth days to now, the support I have felt from inside and outside the club will always remain in my heart and I will always be grateful to you. However, I had never experienced anything else, so I made this decision to take on a new challenge, to step out of my comfort zone, and to take myself further on a professional and personal level.

Every day I've been with Liverpool, I've given my all and I want you to feel it too. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, including the coaches, managers, team-mates and staff, as well as our best fans. Thank you for 20 years of companionship, I have had the privilege of being here to achieve my dreams, I will never take these things for granted, I am incredibly fortunate to have been with you through all this, and my love for Liverpool will never fade. ”
