Real Madrid pays to have Alexander Arnold at the Club World Cup 2th4y

Real Madrid has made official one of the most anticipated moves of the market: Trent Alexander-Arnold will wear white starting from this season. Although his arrival was expected for July, once his contract with Liverpool ended, finally the Madrid club has decided to bring forward his incorporation, paying 10 million euros so that the English full-back can play the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso's command.

For months, the white club had in mind the arrival of the British international, considered one of the best wing-backs in the world. The initial idea was to have him at zero cost, taking advantage of his free agent status at the end of the season. However, the desire to have him already for the international tournament has forced Madrid to negotiate with Liverpool, which did not make it easy. The first proposal was barely a million euros, a sum that was quickly rejected by the 'reds', who stood firm until reaching an agreement close to 10 million.

Liverpool did not make it easy, and Real Madrid had no choice but to pay

This financial effort for just a few weeks responds to the importance that the club gives to the Club World Cup, both in sports and institutional . Alexander-Arnold, on his part, has signed a contract until June 2031, with an astronomical release clause of 1 billion euros, following the usual shielding policy in the merengue team.

Regarding the salary, it is estimated that the new g will receive around 15 million euros gross per season, placing him just behind the main stars of the squad: Mbappé, Vinicius, Bellingham, and Alaba. Madrid thereby strengthens its defense with a player of global standing and sends a clear message of ambition.
