The Athletic reported that the party was organised personally by Alexander-Arnold as a thank you to the club, its staff and his team-mates.
But that hasn't stopped some supporters from hitting out at the player and the club for allowing the party to happen, despite Alexander-Arnold leaving the club and joining a European rival for nothing - with some calling it "embarrassing".
One wrote on : "He's not retiring, he's leaving to join another club. Since when has this been celebrated?" Another added: "Baffling who signed off on that Trent party at the training ground. Embarrassing."
"Think this is a bit odd me," a third said. "It’s embarrassing from the club imo. Celebrating a player leaving the club is wild whatever way you look at it."
Alexander-Arnold declared leaving Liverpool was the toughest call he has made in his career, writing: "After 20 years at Liverpool 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. This club has been my whole life – my whole – for 20 years.
"From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all. My love for this club will never die.”
