As the talk of Trent Alexander Arnold leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid grows larger and larger, several Liverpool fans are angered by this as they feel the player is betraying the club by waiting for his contract to run out and then leave for free. Following the hate that Trent Alexander Arnold has been receiving, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has come out in support of the right back and asked fans to support him. 

“I think we are all disappointed but Trent is the first one also who said that he would prefer us as a team and us as a club not to be too much distracted by this announcement."

“So I am hoping that all the energy on Sunday goes to the players and to the support of our fans and as less as possible to Trent. Unless it is positive and then they can do whatever they want,” said Arne Slot in a press conference.
