Kyle Walker feels Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure from Liverpool will have caused him to lose sleep. Last week, the Reds’ youth product confirmed his departure from the club, with a move to Real Madrid imminent.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, will have his contract expire at the end of June and is anticipated to join up with Jude Bellingham in Madrid after months of conjecture. Some supporters have criticized the full-back’s decision.
The defender waited until Liverpool won the Premier League before announcing his decision, and he is likely to complete a career that included two league crowns, an FA Cup, a Carabao Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup. Alexander-Arnold has 353 appearances for the Reds.
The reaction to Alexander-Arnold’s resignation has attracted a varied response.

The 34-year-old points out that Alexander-Arnold’s attachment to his current club and location will make the decision tough. The defender, who is on loan at AC Milan from Manchester City, believes the one-club man was looking for a new challenge..
Speaking on The Kyle Walker Podcast, he stated: “He would have had extremely long, sleepless nights about what he had to do for his career. The servant he has been to the club, the trophies he has won, the player he has become, and myself personally, you must thank him and wish him the best in his next chapter.
“When Real Madrid knocks on the door, there aren’t many individuals who would say no.
“He has got his good mate Jude there, who will guide him in the right way and I’d love to see a Scouser with a Spanish accent.”
