Alexander-Arnold is one of the young professionals who made his professional debut through Liverpool's youth team in 2016. He has lifted most of the trophies in Liverpool, including league wins, league cup wins, FA Cup wins, and European Champions League wins. He is also considered the best right fullback in the English Premier League (EPL). Alexander-Arnold was expected to continue with Liverpool, but the resignation of manager Jurgen Klopp increased the spark of change.
With the contract expiring after this season, he failed to sign an extension contract with Liverpool, and Real, aiming for the opportunity, seduced Alexander-Arnold, and it is known that he will be likely to be recruited since last winter. Spain's Marca also said that `there has already been news that Alexander-Arnold has informed the club of the decision to transfer to Real.' In the end, the announcement virtually confirmed Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool and join Real.
Fans expressed great treachery for Alexander-Arnold. In the meantime, many fans pointed out him as a traitor, as he made fans expect him to stay on the team. Since the news of the failure to renew the contract, some fans have not hidden their confidence in the player, including burning Alexander-Arnold's uniform.

However, Klopp expressed disappointment with the fans' attitude and defended his student. Klopp "I'm not saying don't be disappointed about him leaving. However, please don't forget what he did for the club.", he said, asking Alexander-Arnold to commit himself to the team and not forget what he has brought. He then turned it off because he heard boos on the television. It was really disappointing. This is not who we are," he said, adding to his disappointment.
However, despite Klopp's request, it is unclear whether Liverpool fans' anger toward Alexander-Arnold can be easily quelled. Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool fans will say goodbye to Crystal Palace at Anfield on the 26th.
