Trent Alexander-Arnold has completed a high-profile transfer from Liverpool to Real Madrid in a €10 million deal finalized ahead of the summer 2025 transfer window.

Real Madrid signed him on a six-year contract, running from June 1, 2025, to June 30, 2031, allowing him to feature immediately in their upcoming Club World Cup campaign in the United States.

Alexander-Arnold, 26, leaves Liverpool after a highly successful spell, during which he won nine major trophies including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and multiple League Cups. He has also earned international recognition, representing England in two World Cups (2018, 2022) and the 2024 European Championship. His individual accolades include being named in the FIFA FIFPro World XI in 2020 and appearing twice in the UEFA Champions League team of the season.

Known for his exceptional vision, precise passing, and attacking runs from right-back, Alexander-Arnold is regarded as one of the most creative and dynamic defenders in world football. Real Madrid's official introduction of the player highlights his maturity and ambition to leave a significant impact at the Bernabéu stadium.

This move marks a new chapter in Alexander-Arnold’s career, transitioning from his boyhood club to one of Europe’s elite teams. Liverpool expressed gratitude for his contribution to their successes, while Real Madrid fans will soon witness his blend of defensive solidity and attacking prowess on the Spanish and European stages.
