Liverpool accept early release deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid
Liverpool FC have reached a deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold's early transfer to Real Madrid. The full-back is now set to join the La Liga club during the transfer window opening on Sunday 1 June, with Liverpool having already received a reportedly £8.4 million fee to release him before his contract ends on 30 June. The 26-year-old has signed a six year contract with Real Madrid, and could be on the pitch for the club as soon as 18 June when they compete in the first round of the Club World Cup. The England International joined Liverpool's academy at the age of six, and progressed through the ranks until he made his first senior appearance at the age of 17 in 2016. In a statement, the club said: "He now departs Anfield after 354 appearances and 23 goals for the club, as well as lifting eight major honours alongside his teammates, which consist of two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups. "Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool FC with the club appreciative and grateful for his contribution to those successes." The club is expected to earn £10 million from the transfer – a combination of a £8.4m payment from Real to secure Alexander-Arnold's services early, and money saved on four weeks' wages to the player. Sources close to the Merseyside club say Real first registered an interest in the player last December, and since then their football department has been determined to protect the best interests of the club. The money secured appears to represent good business for Liverpool, amid early indications Real would only be willing to pay £850,000 to secure the player's services before the expiry of his Liverpool contract. Alexander-Arnold confirmed on May 5 he would be leaving Liverpool this summer, and was booed by fans during the subsequent home match against Arsenal. However, he was warmly welcomed by fans at Anfield during the final game of the season against Crystal Palace last Sunday, with the player saying he had 'never felt so loved'.
