Liverpool Fans Slam Trent Over ‘Summer of 66’ Send-Off | OneFootball

Trent’s Party Sparks Fury as Liverpool Fans Turn Cold

Tensions Boil Over at Anfield

In a week that should have been a respectful farewell, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Liverpool legacy has instead hit turbulent waters. With just seven days left in his Liverpool career, the England right-back finds himself at the centre of a growing storm, not for his on-pitch performances, but for the off-field optics that have rubbed supporters the wrong way.

Liverpool’s modern-day local lad, once hailed as the club’s future captain, now prepares to exit stage left. The curtain will come down next Sunday, and all roads point to Real Madrid, with the Spaniards expected to unveil him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup. The long-speculated move is nearly complete. However, the mood on Merseyside is far from celebratory.

Frimpong Arrival and Bradley Renewal Signal New Era

As Liverpool reshape under Arne Slot, the future waits for no one. The Reds have already secured Conor Bradley’s contract extension and are close to finalising a deal for Jeremie Frimpong. These moves reflect a club moving swiftly and decisively, underlining the reality that Alexander-Arnold’s departure was not unexpected—yet the emotional toll has proven divisive.

Booed during the home draw against Arsenal, Trent’s treatment by sections of the support has already stirred debate. But what followed at the club’s training ground has now taken the narrative to a different level entirely.

Melwood Party Draws Online Outrage

According to Anything Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold’s leaving party at Melwood—bizarrely themed ‘Summer of 66’—was attended by club staff and players. The videos that emerged painted a picture of a jovial, affectionate goodbye. But on social media, Liverpool fans responded with dismay rather than nostalgia.

One supporter fumed: “He deliberately sat through two transfer windows because Madrid told him he could only join on a free but it’s the Liverpool supporters who are being disrespectful? And the club are throwing him a party? This isn’t my club anymore.”

Another vented: “This is so embarrassing it’s unreal. The club & the board is known for building for the future and sustainability but now everyone who gets an offer from Spain thinks ‘Yeah I can leave no problem they the fans will boo me for few minutes but the club will give me a ‘leaving party.’”

The disillusionment runs deep. A third fan echoed the sentiment: “This is pathetic and embarrassing from everyone involved. No wonder the players feel shocked about Trent getting booed by the fans when this is how they feel about the situation. Might as well give a party to Coutinho for going Barca and Torres for Chelsea then.”

Final Days Clouded in Controversy

Trent Alexander-Arnold may yet play two more games in a Liverpool shirt, but his emotional connection to sections of the fanbase appears fractured beyond repair. Monday night’s clash with Brighton & Hove Albion will be another litmus test, where the reception he receives could be telling.

What was once a story of a Scouser who made it to the very top at Anfield now feels like a messy divorce rather than a respectful departure. For a player who defined so much of Liverpool’s modern identity, it’s a painful exit playing out in real-time.

As the final whistle approaches on his Anfield chapter, many fans are already ready to turn the page.
