Arne Slot, Liverpool's head coach, expressed disappointment over Trent Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave for Real Madrid this summer. Alexander-Arnold, who joined Liverpool's academy at age six and has over 350 appearances, turned down a lucrative contract to remain. Slot acknowledged the emotional toll of losing such a talented player and noted Liverpool's history of adapting positively after player departures. He mentioned that Real Madrid is eager for Alexander-Arnold's involvement in the upcoming Club World Cup and indicated potential discussions for an early contract release.
Like everybody who likes Liverpool and who is a fan of Liverpool we are disappointed for him leaving because not only a good human being is leaving but a very good full-back is leaving us as well.
The experience I have and this club as well, is if a good very good player is leaving, the next very good player will step up and that is what probably will happen again.
Sources have told ESPN Real Madrid want Alexander-Arnold to join them for this summer's Club World Cup and are planning to hold talks with Liverpool to negotiate an early release from his contract.
It is impossible to comment on where he is going and if that is a club that will play in the Club World Cup.
