He will leave the club as a free agent once his existing deal runs out.
The 26-year-old has received backlash from a section of Liverpool supporters, with Arne Slot saying he is not going to 'tell fans how they should react'.
"I am not here to tell the fans how they should react. I will see Trent in a bit - the boys had a few days off as well - so I will wait and see how he feels about him announcing that he is going to leave the club. I did speak to him on WhatsApp," he said in his pre-match press conference.
"Let's wait and see but I'm not here to tell the fans how they should react. We are all disappointed but Trent is the first one also who said that he would prefer us as a team and a club not to be not too much distracted by this announcement.

"I am hoping that all the energy on Sunday goes to the players and less as possible to Trent - unless it is positive then they can do whatever they want."
