Former Liverpool star (still hurts typing) Trent Alexander-Arnold has never been one to take a back seat — on the pitch or in planning his future.

Now, the right-back-turned-midfielder has surprised fans once again by showing just how long he had been preparing for life in Madrid.

The 26-year-old officially joined Real Madrid in a deal worth £10 million, ending a two-decade journey with his boyhood club, Liverpool.

Fluent Spanish at his unveiling?

Not bad for a scouser who used to assist goals, not grammar homework.

While the move itself made headlines, Alexander-Arnold’s commitment off the field quietly stole the show.

“I’ve been learning Spanish for a few months,” he said with a grin to Sky Sports News, after delivering a spotless speech at his official Real unveiling.

When Real Madrid president Florentino Perez called him a “legend,” Trent responded not in English, but Spanish, saying: “This doesn’t happen every day.

It shows the intent that I’ve got to come here and have a good start.”

Off the pitch, he made sure to leave Liverpool the right way too.

“The send-off I got, the way they treated me… the owners told me I’d always be welcome back,” he said.

“That means a lot.”

With a debut lined up at the Club World Cup, it’s clear Alexander-Arnold isn’t just dreaming in Spanish — he’s thinking ahead in trophies.
