Trent Alexander-Arnold's value to Real Madrid could be immense
No-one can say any longer that Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool as a free agent in the conventional sense – indeed he was the most expensive free agent in the post-Bosman era. He arrived in Madrid on Friday with Real having decided that the £10 million they will pay Liverpool for his registration in the 29-day interim that precedes his free agency at the end of the month is worth the gamble. The winners of the Fifa Club World Cup will bank $125 million (£93 million) in prize money, the most lucrative pot in the history of football, calculated per game. Should Real triumph in Gianni Infantino's new tournament, with Alexander-Arnold as a key figure, that £10 million investment will have paid for itself. The modern Real Madrid is many things: a thrilling show, a nod to a great past, a house maintained on a shrinking financial pre-eminence, a lot of debt. Alexander-Arnold joins a club very different to the one that David Beckham signed for in 2003 – but no less certain of its place at the centre of the football world. Success or otherwise will be dictated by Alexander-Arnold's performances, but he will soon learn there is a lot else going on at Real besides. The club makes great play of his membership-owned status while complaining constantly about the disadvantages of being constituted thus. It is on the cusp of change - a full or partial privatisation, the nature of which is as yet unresolved, in return for a giant cash injection. The succession race to follow the 78-year-old president Florentino Perez, in charge for 22 of the last 25 years, is likely to be brutal. Alexander-Arnold is one of a small group of free agents, along with Antonio Rudiger and Kylian Mbappe whom Real have skilfully peeled away from European rivals. Not every player has the resilience needed to run a contract down. It requires a certain kind of character to power through it all and Real's squad is informed by that. Alexander-Arnold can learn something from each of his English predecessors at Real. Beckham went through a long courtship in 2002 and then into 2003, that survived a late twist when United agreed a fee with Barcelona contingent on Joan Laporta winning the presidential election. Even so, it was Barcelona's 2003 summer signing who was considerably more successful. Ronaldinho won two Liga titles and the Champions League in the four-year period Beckham spent at Madrid. Michael Owen's move two years later was something of an afterthought – and it showed in the way he regarded it. In his first memoirs, Owen said that he made his decision almost immediately that he would not stay beyond a year and he never moved out of his hotel accommodation. Jonathan Woodgate's move between the two was an anomaly – although he was a talented player and considered worth a risk if the pieces had fallen right. Jude Bellingham joined Real much earlier in his career and his first season instantly made him a greater success than all those Englishmen at Real who had preceded him – including the pioneer, Laurie Cunningham. For Alexander-Arnold, the challenge is different. Xabi Alonso, the team's new manager, will have to wrangle some difficult tactical and personnel issues. The long pursuit of Mbappe was finally completed last summer and yet the biggest star of the next generation at the club of the big stars seems to have been an awkward fit at times. How manageable is Mbappe? He scored 43 goals last season but against Arsenal in their Champions League defeat Real had clearly regressed as a European force. Into this comes Alexander-Arnold, an established name himself, albeit currently lower down the superstar scale than the likes of Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. The Englishman does have the advantage of joining a team that has, by Real's standards, failed this season. A new manager will be able to make difficult decisions with that in mind. Alonso will surely play to the strengths of Alexander-Arnold although for every stellar name introduced to the team, to make room another must fall. Bellingham has already outstripped Beckham's impact in terms of trophies. In the recent Beckham Netflix documentary, his Real generation were presented as a brave bunch of underdogs fighting against the odds. The reality was that they were the most expensively-acquired, haphazard group of superstars the game had known at that point. They burned through a series of hapless coaches. Post-Carlo Ancelotti, that is the trap that Real have avoided on that extraordinary run of six Champions League triumphs in the last 12 seasons. They lost the Liga title to a Barcelona team in breach of Liga financial controls, and increasingly seem to exist beyond regulation – at least in Spain. Real have not taken fewer risks but still find themselves walking a fine line. The deal with the US investor Sixth Street for 30 per cent of commercial revenue from the remodelled Bernabeu for the next 20 years hangs over the club. What other cards does the club have to play? Reports in Spain suggest the club will now redevelop the packet of land known as Las Tablas which was part of the original state aid case against it more than ten years ago. The European competitions commission is likely to take an interest again. Yet were it not for these limitations perhaps Real would never have alighted upon Alexander-Arnold. There are few full-backs of his quality in the world - and only one available as a free agent this summer. Real do not have the spending power they did 22 years ago, and that they were prepared to splash £10 million on less than a month of Alexander-Arnold, the man himself should take as the greatest endorsement yet of his value from his new club.
