Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, following the England international’s departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The 26-year-old right-back has joined Xabi Alonso’s squad and is expected to be included in the team for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in June.
Alexander-Arnold brings an end to a remarkable chapter at Anfield, having spent his entire professional career with Liverpool, where he rose through the academy ranks to become one of the club’s most decorated players in recent history.
During his time with the Reds, he won multiple major honours including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, and League Cup.
Eager for a fresh challenge, Alexander-Arnold now embarks on a new journey with Los Blancos, who continue to strengthen under Alonso’s leadership.
His move marks one of the most high-profile free transfers of the summer and is expected to bolster Real Madrid’s defensive options ahead of a demanding 2025/26 campaign.
