“This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life”.
Alexander-Arnold’s contract talks over a free transfer switch to Real are reported to be at an advanced stage.
He will depart as a Premier League champion after the Reds moved level with rivals Manchester United on a joint-record 20 English top-flight titles.
“I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team’s best interests, which was securing No. 20″, Alexander-Arnold said.
