I feel like Alina will not leave Eteri's group no matter how much the fans want her too. And I think honestly, most of the fans just want to see Eteri fail and see another student of hers leave even if it doesn't make sense. There are a few factors why Alina will not leave her group.
1. I think she's a very loyal person and she stands by the people who have always stood by her and even gave her a second chance.
2. She has no reason to be upset at Eteri's group: Where's that gif of Alina where she says "Of course I'm happy, I have won everything." Because that's the reality, she has won every major juniors or seniors title (Olympics, Worlds, GPF, Europeans, JGPF, etc). Sure, she can always aim to win worlds again or defend her Olympic championship but unlike the others who have regrets in their career she HAS won it all.
3. The people she's closest too coaching wise are still there: Obviously, I don't know for certain but it seems like her and Daniil are very close friends and she gets along well Eteri. So even though we might want new choreo for her, she might like her choreo just fine and if she wants to make changes I'm sure as she gets older she can always discuss with her coaches what SHE wants. She wanted Carmen for awhile and eventually Eteri said it was time.
4. If she really wants to be competitive and learn 3A, quads etc. I think Eteri is quite motivated to teach them to her. Now of course who knows if Alina can learn them but I think Eteri can figure out how to teach them to someone who has an adult body.
So, basically she gains nothing by leaving (unless she truly wants to of course) and everything by staying. If she doesn't truly want to be back she can rest on her laurels and retire without retiring. If she still has that fire to compete then I think she 99% will stay with Eteri. Eteri coached her to glory and I just see Alina being loyal and sticking with them. No bad press, she already gets hate from others in the skating world and I don't think she gains much by souring her relationship to Sambo70 and Tutberidze.
