Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool at the end of the season as soon as his contract ends and fresh details about how the English star broke the news to Arne Slot, its origin
Trent Alexander-Arnold inquired Arne Slot at the Kirkby training field of the club during the international break of March that he had decided to leave Liverpool after he had put his heart on a new challenge.

Speculation about the future of Alexander-Arnold has been widespread for months and there was little in the way of updates on contract negotiations with the right back.
But it has now emerged that all parties had recognized the thoughts of Alexander-Arnold after a final meeting between the club's sports director, Richard Hughes, and the representatives of the player earlier this spring.
It was then that Alexander-Arnold Slot sought to explain his decision, with reference to his desire to experience a new challenge as the reason behind his exit. He is now expected to go on paper on paper in the coming weeks about a long -term contract with Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold's contract can be expanded in the front since he arrived in Anfield van Hughes. His first phone call was in fact, after he agreed to become the club's sports director in the Alexander-Arnold camp when he tried to get a deal.
