ISTANBUL, May 5 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold will depart the club at the end of the season when his contract expires on June 30, ending a 20-year association with the Premier League giants, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
The 26-year-old, who joined Liverpool’s academy at age six, has made 352 senior appearances and scored 23 goals since debuting for the first team in 2016.
“After giving my all every day for 20 years, I’ve come to a point where I feel I need a change — a new challenge as a footballer and as a human being,” Alexander-Arnold said in a statement released by the club.
“I think this is the right time to do it. There are many things I want to say to the fans, but most importantly, thank you. You were with me from the very beginning. I always felt your support, your love -- every minute was beautiful.”
A key figure in Liverpool’s recent success, the England international lifted eight major trophies with the club: one Premier League title, two League Cups, and one each of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, and Community Shield.
Though his next destination has not been confirmed, Alexander-Arnold has been widely linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
