Liverpool captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to leave England for Spain this summer, with Real Madrid already having made an official contract offer to the English defender’s representatives.
However, the decision to part ways with Liverpool was made long before now. According to the Mirror, Alexander-Arnold decided to leave after learning that Jürgen Klopp would be stepping down as head coach last year.
Klopp’s departure had a significant impact on Alexander-Arnold, as the German manager was pivotal in his development both as a footballer and as a person.
Reminder: Alexander-Arnold, a product of Liverpool’s youth academy, has had an impressive season, contributing 3 goals and 7 assists in 39 matches. Several other key players, including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, also have contracts nearing expiration.
