Jordan Henderson makes feelings clear after Trent Alexander-Arnold announces decision to leave Liverpool this summer

Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson reacted to Trent Alexander-Arnold announcing that he would be leaving the Reds this summer. There has been speculation around the defender’s future, with his current agreement expiring after the season’s end.

Now, the right-back has confirmed in an Instagram video that he will be leaving Anfield after spending 20 years in Merseyside. A portion of this caption for this post read:

Henderson, who is also a Liverpool hero, played alongside Alexander-Arnold on 218 occasions for club and country, bagging two joint goal contributions. He wrote in the comments section of this post (via The Boot Room):

Overall, the right-back has made 352 senior appearances across competitions for the Reds to date, bagging 23 goals and 92 assists. He’s won the Premier League trophy twice and the UEFA Champions League once, among other honors at Anfield.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold confirming his Liverpool departure, Fabrizio Romano has shed light on the status of the defender’s move to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

The transfer expert has suggested that the parties have agreed to a five-year deal, for which the preparation of documents is underway. He wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account:

Alexander-Arnold has continued to perform well this year for the Reds, having made 42 appearances across competitions, bagging four goals and eight assists. It is likely that he will take over from Daniel Carvajal as Real Madrid’s long-term right-back.
