The Scouser finally makes his way to the hallowed grounds of Los Blancos. Trent Alexander-Arnold was officially unveiled by Real Madrid’s newest signing on Thursday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
A few weeks ago, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s signing by Real Madrid was confirmed. However, it wasn’t until today that his official unveiling took place.
The British footballer, alongside Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, put his signature down on the contract, keeping him tied to the club until 2031.
He posed with his new jersey in an incomparable setting, with all the Champions League trophies behind him, as he was awarded the number 12 jersey, worn previously by the likes of legendary Brazilian fullback Marcelo.
In his official presentation held in Valdebebas, Trent took to the media, addressing them in perfect Spanish, stunning all present, as he opened up on his motivation to join the legendary Los Blancos.
“Thank you to Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez,” Trent began in fluent Spanish.
“Signing for a club like Real Madrid doesn’t happen every day,” he continued in his speech.
“It’s a dream come true, I’m looking forward to showing my game.”
“I’m aware that playing for Real Madrid comes with great responsibility, and I’m ready to give everything for the team and for the Madridistas.
“I can’t wait to show my game, win many titles, become a champion, grow, and enjoy every moment alongside the best players in the world.
“Thank you, and Hala Madrid!” signed off Trent.
The 26-year-old England international joins Real Madrid after winning nine titles with Liverpool: one Champions League, one Club World Cup, one European Super Cup, two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, two League Cups, and one FA Community Shield.
Alexander-Arnold, who has spent his entire football career at Liverpool, has been a full England international since 2018, representing his country in two World Cups (2018 and 2022) and one European Championship (2024).
The 26-year-old England international’s contract at Anfield was drawing to an end this summer. Instead of waiting to sign him on a free transfer, Real Madrid opted to pay a fee to bring him in earlier so he could play in the Club World Cup, starting on June 14.
“Liverpool will receive a fee for his services, with the deal to be concluded once the window opens on June 1,” Liverpool said in a statement, confirming his departure.
