Liverpool are set to earn £10million from Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid, with the right-back joining the La Liga side before the end of his contract.

Now, Liverpool are set to rake in a small profit for a player that was going to be available for free on June 30.

Madrid will hand Liverpool a fee of £8.4m, with the total package coming to around £10m after Madrid pay the player's salary for the final month of his contract.



Alexander-Arnold will officially become a Real Madrid player on June 1.

The 26-year-old has signed a six-year deal and will pocket wages of £220,000-a-week at the Bernabeu, where he arrives after winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup and the Champions League.

Announcing the move, Real said: "Real Madrid CF and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement that will keep Trent Alexander-Arnold at our club for the next six seasons, from June 1, 2025, to June 30, 2031."

Liverpool gave a muted statement for a player who has turned out for them for the last 20 years - after joining at the age of six.

They said: "Liverpool FC can confirm an offer has been accepted for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid for his transfer upon the opening of the June transfer window.

The full-back is now set to join the La Liga club ahead of the expiry of his Reds contract this summer.

"Liverpool will receive a fee for his services, with the deal to be concluded once the window opens on June 1.

Liverpool are expected to sign Jeremie Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold's replacement.
