Robbie Fowler's conspiracy theory about Trent Alexander-Arnold resurfaces five months later and everyone may owe him an apology

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler's theory on the club's contract situation has resurfaced after the Trent Alexander-Arnold announcement.

On Monday, after months of speculation, it was finally confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Taking to social media, the 26-year-old said in an emotional video: "After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season.

"This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life."

Alexander-Arnold's decision comes after Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah penned new deals to extend their stay at Anfield.

During the season, the future of the above-mentioned trio has been the main talking point as Liverpool were taking a long time to sort out the pressing issue.

Speaking back in January, ex-Reds striker Fowler came up with his own theory about the contract situation.

He told Amazon Prime: "I do have a little theory actually and I don’t know if this is so far from the truth. I just think two of them have signed already you know, for some reason and maybe one hasn’t.

"But a simple fact that the club can’t come out and say, ‘Youse have signed’ because it makes the other one look worse."

Fowler continued: "I think there’s a possibility that may have happened, does that make sense?

"Because I think if two of them sign and then they come out and say, ‘Oh we’ve signed,’ it puts so much pressure on the other one, doesn’t it."

Although it was just purely Fowler's own theory, it turned out to be quite an interesting take on the whole saga.

Alexander-Arnold is now expected to join Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid when he leaves Anfield next month.

During his time as a Liverpool player, the Englishman won two Premier League titles, two League Cups, one Champions League, one FA Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and also the FA Community Shield.
