Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially joined Real Madrid after completing a €10 million transfer from Liverpool. The 26-year-old England international signed a six-year deal with the Spanish giants and made an immediate impression by addressing fans and media in fluent Spanish during his unveiling.
During the presentation, he expressed deep gratitude and excitement about this new chapter in his career. “Thank you, Florentino Perez, and the club for this opportunity. This doesn’t happen every day. It’s a dream come true. I’m very happy and proud to be here,” he said. Alexander-Arnold also pledged to give his best, acknowledging the club’s high expectations and promising to win trophies and play with passion and commitment for Real Madrid supporters.
He emphasized his desire to succeed at the club and enjoy playing alongside some of the best talents in world football, ending his speech with the traditional “Hala Madrid.” His number for the team will be 12, previously worn by Eduardo Camavinga.
Club president Florentino Perez welcomed him warmly, calling him a football legend and praising his accomplishments at Liverpool. Perez noted that Alexander-Arnold had many options but chose Real Madrid, showing a strong desire to be part of the most successful club in the world. “You have chosen to play for Real Madrid because you know this is where you can achieve more glory,” Perez said.
The full-back is expected to make his debut soon as Madrid prepares for the upcoming Club World Cup. The team will travel to the United States for group-stage matches against Al-Hilal, Pachuca, and Red Bull Salzburg.
