Liverpool Accepts £10 Million Real Madrid Offer for Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool has reached an agreement to transfer right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid for a fee of approximately £10 million, ahead of his contract expiry at the end of June. The deal allows Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid in time for the Club World Cup starting mid-June, with the official transfer set to be completed once the June transfer window opens. Alexander-Arnold, who joined Liverpool’s academy at age six and made 354 appearances for the club, departs after winning nine major titles, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League. Real Madrid announced a six-year contract for the 26-year-old, reflecting their commitment to integrating him into their squad early. Earlier negotiations had seen Real Madrid offer a smaller fee to release him early, but Liverpool secured a higher payment despite the player having played his last game for the club. Both clubs expressed mutual appreciation, with Liverpool grateful for Alexander-Arnold's contributions and Real Madrid excited to welcome their new signing.
