Trent Alexander-Arnold will meet up with Real Madrid soon(Image: Eddie Keogh/The FA via Getty Images)
Trent Alexander-Arnold is earning £220,000-a-week at Real Madrid – but those wages come with some strings attached.
It’s a good deal for Alexander-Arnold, who will be in line for a €1m (£843,000) bonus if Real lift the trophy on July 13.
It’s been a profitable time for Alexander-Arnold, who is currently away with England ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Senegal, and who will swap Merseyside for Madrid this summer once the Club World Cup is out of the way.
Once he has settled in, Alexander-Arnold will have to get used to one of the quirks that come with playing for Real.
The Spanish giants have a deal with car manufacturer BMW which means the players are only allowed to drive their models to the training ground.
It means that Alexander-Arnold’s favoured Range Rover P530, which he often drove into Liverpool’s Kirkby base, won’t be allowed.

His favourite car retails for £130,000 and it remains to be seen whether he will bring it with him from England to Spain.
Thankfully, he will be equipped with a new model by BMW, who kit out the Real Madrid squad, as well as the women’s team and basketball team, with cars to use throughout the season.
BMW only offer plug-in hybrid and electric models, which they then sell off as pre-owned models later on.
Meanwhile, Vinícius Junior opted for the BMW i7 M70 xDrive, which costs £157,000.

There is a similar deal in place at Bayern Munich, who have close ties with Audi, and only allow their players to drive their cars.
