Fansen delade i två läger efter Trents besked

Sociala medier kokade över då Trent Alexander-Arnold levererade nyheten att han lämnar klubben. Inte oväntat går supportrarnas åsikter isär – här har vi valt ut några engelska inlägg från X.

Redan under landslagsuppehållet i slutet av mars trumpetade de mest trovärdiga reportrarna ut att Trent skulle lämna Liverpool i sommar. Först idag kom den officiella bekräftelsen från spelaren själv – och ingen är särskilt förvånad, eller hur?

Lewis Steele (Mail) och James Pearce (The Athletic) skriver att Arne Slot, Richard Hughes och Michael Edwards har känt till beslutet sedan dess och att tränaren kommer att backas upp rejält under kommande transferfönster.

Ett femårskontrakt med Real Madrid ligger på bordet och det finns en muntlig överenskommelse, rapporterar samtidigt transfergurun Fabrizio Romano.

Det är klart att beslutet vållar enormt rabalder bland fansen, framför allt det faktum att Trent lämnar utan att klubben får ett pund i ersättning. Men den kritiken måste väl i så fall även riktas mot klubbledningen Fenway Sports Group, som tillät det ske.

Åsikterna går isär, som alltid. Från supporterklubbens sida upprepar vi gärna citatet som en gång myntades av Sir Kenny Dalglish när Fernando Torres chockerade alla med att slänga in en transferansökan för att pressa fram en övergång till Chelsea:

"There is no one anywhere in the world at any stage who is any bigger or any better than this football club."

Här nedan följer några fansreaktioner från plattformen X.

Walk on...

Really stings this. Not feeling bitter. It's just he's a Scouse lad, and he's brilliant. To lose him now, in his prime for free, is tough. The club gave him a decision to make, and he made it. We move on. We always have. Trent's in the history books now, and what a story it was https://t.co/7tQKIqKjIe

Trents been brilliant, but, new challenge? No, simply all about the Money - so just say it. Agent brother. Massive payday due to the free. All about becoming richer. That's just the way modern football is now. You'll struggle to find anymore Steven Gerrard's. Fact. #LFC #Trent

We all knew it was coming! Don’t let it ruin your title winning celebrations. At the end of the day, we’ve got Conor Bradley who’s absolutely class at RB. If Trent can’t see the value in staying then so be it, he’s made his bed now. Up the reds ❤️.

Boyhood club.
Local lad.
Premier league champion.
Vice captain.
Potential to be future champion.
Massive chance to win more trophies next season.

Or

Another number in an egotistical environment.
Cuddle Bellingham every night.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: För mig handlar allt om att vinna. Om troféer.

Liverpool: Okej, vi vann allt. <3

Alexander-Arnold: Okej, jag behöver en ny utmaning.

For me, he can't live in Spain or win La Liga at Liverpool, so it's totally understandable why he'd go during his only career. But surely we understand why some aren't happy? Real have knocked LFC out of the CL five times in the last 8 seasons - twice in finals! They're a rival!

Worse than Owen, worse than Mcmanaman

Make sure he is never, ever welcomed back

He’s losing a lot more than we are. See ya https://t.co/zM5d31IwlU

If this provokes a new level of anger in you today, then I’m sorry but you might just be doing it wrong

Known for ages, had time to get over it, onto the next thing ✌️ https://t.co/k42s6tRJEU

Lots of conflicting feelings here if I'm honest. Probably best just to say thanks for the memories and we move on no problem. https://t.co/TibTGsBh35

I've lived in Madrid for 23 years. It's brilliant. He's still making a massive mistake though. Terrible club, as far removed from LFC spiritually as is possible.

I wish him all the happiness and a limited amount of domestic success https://t.co/TlucgEhgyX

Obviously I’m quite disappointed he’s going but, in a way, it’s a relief to have it made official. Ends all the speculation and enables us to look ahead. https://t.co/agBaEk5dco

Alexander-Arnold has helped Liverpool win a lot of trophies including the Premier League & Champions League.

His send off:

"Hopefully never to be seen a Liverpool shirt ever again"
"Hope he gets booed in every game this season"
"Off you pop"
"Bye"
