Arne Slot addressed the departure of Trent Alexander Arnold from Liverpool, emphasizing the expected transition as the club prepares for a new player. Arnold's decision to leave, ending a 20-year relationship with Liverpool, raises disappointment among fans and management alike. Despite speculation regarding his move to Real Madrid, Slot refrained from confirming it, as Arnold has yet to announce his destination. He acknowledged the challenges players face amid fan reactions and stressed the importance of maintaining focus in these situations, reflecting on the emotional aspects tied to the player's decision.
"If people have opinion about us - whether it's Trent, me or someone else who works in this industry - that's not new for anyone. It's probably a bit more for him now and maybe a bit more negative than he's used to."
"Like everyone who is a fan of Liverpool, we are disappointed for him leaving" - Arne Slot on Trent Alexander Arnold's departure from the club.
"Do you know where he is going? He hasn't said, so for me it's impossible to comment on where he's going and if it is a club that is going to play in the Club World Cup."
"I did speak to him on WhatsApp. Trent is the first to have said that he would prefer us not to be distracted by this announcement."
