Jamie Carragher believes that Trent Alexander-Arnold should be fondly remembered by Liverpool fans even if he leaves as a free agent. He argues, "...he will be respected more than loved if he leaves this summer. Local players get treated differently to overseas stars. It is just how it is." Carragher emphasizes the complexity of fan attachment to local players contrasted with international stars, suggesting that leaving the club on a free transfer could impact Alexander-Arnold's legacy.
Reflecting on the potential backlash Trent could face, Carragher states, "Trent will get a lot of criticism if he leaves on a free because he is valued at around 90 million, but there will be more acceptance if Salah and Van Dijk go on a Bosman... Trent cost no transfer fee, so he would leave for the same price." This highlights the distinct expectations placed on local players versus those who cost substantial transfer fees.
