Trent Alexander-Arnold has effectively been banned from driving his £130,000 Range Rover to Real Madrid's training ground.
The England international officially joined Los Blancos on Sunday, signing a six-year contract after leaving boyhood club Liverpool as a free agent.
The Premier League champions received an £8.4million fee for the 26-year-old to release him early from his contract, as Real Madrid were keen for him to join their squad in time for the Club World Cup later this month.
However, as Alexander-Arnold becomes acquainted with the rest of Xabi Alonso’s team, he will have to bid farewell to the car model he’s been driving around the UK.
One of Alexander-Arnold’s preferred vehicles to drive had been a Range Rover P530.
His luxury SUV boasted a 4.4 V8 twin-turbo engine that delivered 530 horsepower and a maximum torque of 750 Nm.
His version of the model, which is no longer available to purchase, was priced by Land Rover at £130,000.
Equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system, it could propel its more than 2.5 tonnes from 0 to 100km/h in 2.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 155mph.

Yet, if the player had been hoping to ship his car over to Madrid or purchase a similar model for everyday use in Spain, he would've been sorely disappointed.
That is due to Real Madrid's sponsorship agreement with BMW, which prevents players from driving any other brand of car to training, according to Spanish outlet El Motor.
Every year, the German car manufacturer supplies Real Madrid players, including the women's team and basketball team, with cars to use throughout the season.
For example, the sporty BMW XM has been a popular choice within the club.

Both Kylian Mbappe and Alexander Arnold's England team-mate Jude Bellingham have chosen the model, which boasts 653hp and costs around £152,000.
