When you are lucky, everything goes your way. Or, rich just get richer. Use whichever you want of these sentences, but the truth remains – Liverpool made a great deal for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The England defender decided to leave his boyhood club and sign for Real Madrid as a free agent, which officially happened today, but the Reds had a last laugh – they still got no less than 10 million pounds from this transfer! They can thank Gianni Infantino and his FIFA‘s Club World Cup as Real wanted to include their new player in the team immediately and had to pay the price for it. The Club World Cup starts on June 14th, but Trent was about to joint the Madrid club on June 30th as the free agent. So, Real had to pay and how is available from today and will stay in the club for the next six years.🤩 #WelcomeTrent 🤩 pic.twitter.com/FkySMnU5cs— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) May 30, 2025 The right-back had been a target of the Royal Club since the January transfer window, when they were ready to pay 40 million euros in compensation, but the English club refused in order to keep a key player in their push for another Premier League title. In the end, Real Madrid paid four times less, managed to register him for the FIFA Club World Cup, and it can be said that in the end, everyone is happy and satisfied. Trent Alexander-Arnold played 354 matches for his boyhood club, scored 23 goals, and recorded 92 assists. With Liverpool, he won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the Champions League. He has been a full England international since 2018, with whom he has played in two World Cups (2018 and 2022) and one European Championship (2024). On an individual level, he has been named in the FIFA FIFPro World 11 once (2020), in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Season twice (2018/19 and 2021/22), and in the Premier League All-Star Team three times (2018/19, 2019/20, and 2021/22). He was also named the Premier League’s Young Player of the Year in 2019/20. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8957213##
