I’m so sorry. I was invited by a very close friend of mine to the team and I agreed. The pay is good and there is good chemistry between me and the players there. I’m sorry but I’m leaving Liverpool” – Trent Alexander Arnold finalizes an unexpected agreement with a different club: Spotted in the spectators’ area. Why would he betray us like this 😱💔 There’s no need, we have players that can replace him 🙀💯 #LFC 🙀😎

It’s expected that footballers aim to play as much as possible, even if it isn’t always in their best interest.

There might be attempts to create rumors of discord between Arne Slot and his key players, particularly Trent Alexander-Arnold.

However, Liverpool’s commanding 2-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield on Sunday helped them regain a spot in the top four.

The 45-year-old coach likely frustrated some of Liverpool’s rivals by clarifying that his decision to substitute the fullback was solely to keep him fit for the rest of the season, as noted by Lewis Steele on X.

Alexander-Arnold’s frustration isn’t a major concern.

We recognize that his contract, which is set to expire in the summer of 2025, could add some tension to the situation. However, we believe Liverpool is in a strong position to secure his future at the club.

If substituting our No. 66 in the 72nd minute helps keep him fit and performing well throughout the challenging 2024/25 season, we at Empire of the Kop fully support the move.
