Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has previously expressed admiration for Xabi Alonso, is set to be teaming up with the Reds legend at Real Madrid this summer.

Alonso, who has confirmed he will leave Bayer Leverkusen, is rumored to be taking over the managerial role at the Santiago Bernabéu, while Alexander-Arnold has also confirmed he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season with Los Blancos the likely destination.

Alonso, who was once tipped as a potential successor to Jurgen Klopp, faced his former club for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2009 in the Champions League earlier this season and it was then Alexander-Arnold shared a heartfelt moment with Alonso on social media.

Alexander-Arnold, frequently compared to the ex- Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder for his passing abilities, seized the chance to showcase his technical skills to Alonso.
