Trent Alexander-Arnold has been 'banned' from two major venues in Liverpool following his announcement to leave the club.
The 26-year-old defender will be ending his 20-year association with Liverpool FC when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Both Popworld Liverpool and Currys stores have humorously declared him unwelcome through social media posts.
The entertainment venue Popworld Liverpool was first to announce the ban, simply posting on social media: "Barred @TrentAA."

Not to be outdone, the official Currys account shared a video on X showing their response.
The clip featured a staff member approaching a store window where a poster of Alexander-Arnold was visible.
The poster prominently displayed the message: "Banned. Please do not enter."
Currys added the caption: "Banned from all Currys stores in Liverpool."
These tongue-in-cheek posts have quickly gained attention as local businesses react to the defender's impending departure.
