Liverpool fans were quick to comment in response, with one writing: “Why did you have to scare us with a legend like that?”
Others urged Alexander-Arnold to sign new terms to remain at Liverpool and snub interest from elsewhere.
“You better be the only change you make off the field this season: sign the contract,” one fan wrote.
Another added: “You can switch to any phone bro, none of my business.” Just don’t change teams now.
Alexander-Arnold’s post also included a video to promote the Google Pixel, in which the clip referenced another “switch,” a cross-pass.
The Liverpool star is initially seen sitting on a bench in a park in the clip, while holding the phone.
A man, seen in a Liverpool shirt, invites him to “change it” after a ball is found at his feet.
After his long-range pass finds the man, Alexander-Arnold turns and says “change that decent” before winking at the camera.

The Reds’ contract problems intensified over the weekend when Salah revealed he has yet to receive any offers to stay at the club and is “more out than in”.
Speaking to a small group of journalists after Sunday’s win at Southampton, Salah said: “It’s almost December and I still haven’t received any offers to stay at the club. “I’m probably more out than in.
“You know that I have been at the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said, it is December and I still have not received anything about my future.
‘I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or in those of the fans.”
