Madrid will pay Liverpool a one-off 10m (8.5m) fee to terminate the full-back's contract 29 days early, as well as cover his wages for the month of June. The deal allows him to be registered in time for the Club World Cup, which begins in the United States on June will be playing for Real Madrid in the Club World Cup," Real Madrid Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadriden) May 30, 2025 Alexander-Arnold leaves Anfield after a decorated spell in which he lifted nine trophies, including a Champions League title, two Premier League crowns and both domestic cups. He departs as one of the finest attacking full-backs of his generation, having also featured prominently in two World Cups and a European Championship for England since making his international debut in 2018.

Real Madrid Announce Signing Of Trent Alexander-Arnold From Liverpool
English star Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined Real Madrid, following the decision to not renew his contract with boyhood club Liverpool. After 20 years as a part of Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold will move to the Spanish giants ahead of this summer's Club World Cup. Alexander-Arnold said leaving Liverpool was the "most difficult decision" in his life, but joining Real Madrid is usually one of the easiest to make. The record 15-time Champions League winners are the world's most successful club and joining them as a player is widely viewed as reaching the pinnacle of the game. In 2003, Madrid signed David Beckham from Manchester United -- a player Alexander-Arnold has sometimes been likened to for his passing range and crossing ability. "It's not the case that other teams are bad, it's just that Real Madrid are the greatest," England international Jude Bellingham said after he joined from Dortmund in 2023. The presence of Bellingham, a compatriot and close friend, certainly increased Madrid's appeal for Alexander-Arnold whose highly-anticipated arrival was formally announced on Friday. The Liverpool academy graduate won it all at Anfield but his chances of winning silverware more regularly are boosted with Los Blancos, so he took the risk of leaving his boyhood club. From Madrid's perspective, securing Alexander-Arnold's services on a six-year deal also seemed an obvious step to take. With Dani Carvajal, 33, injured for much of the season, right-back has been a problem position. Fede Valverde and the departing Lucas Vazquez have played there even though it is not their natural role. Carvajal will be back next season but after his serious knee injury and given his age, whether he will return at the same level is uncertain. Alexander-Arnold, 26, is expected to form part of Madrid's squad for years to come. The defender's arrival fits Madrid's recent approach of using their super-club status to hire 'Galactico' level stars at the end of their contracts. French striker Kylian Mbappe's arrival from Paris Saint-Germain last summer is the prime example, while Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba also joined without a transfer fee. Alexander-Arnold has the attacking range to delight Madrid's demanding fans, who love full-backs with a penchant for the spectacular, including Marcelo and Roberto Carlos. The Liverpudlian, a set-piece expert, has also been used in midfield by England which is an area where Madrid have struggled since Toni Kroos' departure last summer. Sweetening the pot is Alexander-Arnold's association with Liverpool's 4-0 thrashing of Madrid's arch-rivals Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-finals. The defender created his team's vital fourth goal after a 3-0 away defeat, with a corner taken quickly to catch out Barca's defence and tee up Divock Origi to score. "When I got to those big occasions, I felt like that's where I belonged," Alexander-Arnold told FourFourTwo. "Those sorts of games naturally demand you to play the best that you can and think on the spot, and have those moments of brilliance –- I was able to come up with one." Defensive doubts British players have not always found it easy to adapt to life in the Spanish capital. Welshman Gareth Bale was hugely successful at Madrid and yet still ended up as a scapegoat, while England internationals Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate never completely found their footing. Bellingham hit the ground running however, leading Madrid to a La Liga and Champions League double in his first campaign, and can help Alexander-Arnold fit in. The biggest concerns around Alexander-Arnold's arrival relate to his defensive aptitude. At times for Liverpool and England he has been criticised for switching off, allowing wingers to drift behind him unchecked. Madrid's defensive line has suffered this season as they ended up without a major trophy. If new coach Xabi Alonso sticks to the 3-4-3 system he used at Bayer Leverkusen, Alexander-Arnold could thrive in the right wing-back role. "Because he is so special with the ball, the main emphasis goes on him doing special things with the ball," explained Liverpool coach Arne Slot in September. "I think with him it is not about if he is capable of doing things, it's more -- can his concentration rate constantly be at 100 percent focus?" It would not be the first time Madrid have signed a player fuelled by optimism over their potential, rather than a more measured approach to squad-building. In Alexander-Arnold's case, though, there is plenty to suggest this union will suit both club and player.

Trent Alexander-Arnold joins Real Madrid in €10m deal ahead of Club World Cup
In a successful move, Real Madrid have secured the early transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool , ensuring the Englishman will be available for their entire Club World Cup campaign this summer. The deal, finalized for a reported fee of €10 million (£8.4 million; $11.4 million), sees Alexander-Arnold join the Spanish giants on a six-year contract, ending his remarkable association with Liverpool, where he rose from academy prospect to one of the world's elite right-backs. Originally, Alexander-Arnold was set to join Real Madrid as a free agent after his Liverpool contract expired on June 30. However, Madrid's desire to have him available for all Club World Cup matches—including group-stage fixtures against Al Hilal (June 18), Pachuca (June 22), and Red Bull Salzburg (June 26)—spurred negotiations for an early release. Liverpool initially rejected Madrid's approach in December and a subsequent offer, but ultimately accepted the €10 million proposal as the Premier League season concluded. The transaction is financially advantageous for Liverpool, who not only receive a lump sum but also relieve themselves of the responsibility for Alexander-Arnold's remaining wages and bonuses. For Real Madrid, the fee is a small price to pay for securing a player with a market valuation of €75 million, who now ranks as the fourth most valuable signing in the club's history, behind only Jude Bellingham, Eden Hazard, and Kylian Mbappé . Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool having made over 350 appearances and won nine major trophies, including the 2019 Champions League and two Premier League titles in 2020 and 2025. His departure initially drew mixed reactions from fans, with some booing him in the penultimate match of the season. However, after interventions from club legends like Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah , he was celebrated during the Premier League trophy presentation at Anfield. Real Madrid's statement confirmed Alexander-Arnold's participation in the Club World Cup, while Liverpool's official communication expressed gratitude for his contributions: 'Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool FC with the club appreciative and grateful for his contribution to those successes.' Alexander-Arnold himself cited the need for a 'new challenge' as motivation for the move. Live Events This transfer not only reshapes Madrid's defensive plans—especially with club captain Dani Carvajal sidelined by injury—but also marks the end of an era at Liverpool, where Alexander-Arnold's creativity and leadership were central to their recent triumphs
