REAL MADRID HAVE ANNOUNCED THE SIGNING OF TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD FROM LIVERPOOL ON A SIX-YEAR AFTER THE RIGHT-BACK OPTED NOT TO SIGN A NEW DEAL AT ANFIELD - BUT THE REDS WON'T BE LEFT
EMPTY HANDED 12:21, 30 May 2025Updated 12:21, 30 May 2025 Liverpool are set to earn £10million from Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid, with the right-back joining the La Liga
side before the end of his contract. The Spanish outfit wanted to register him in their squad in time for the newly-revamped Club World Cup after being left short on options in defence. The
Reds have bid farewell to their homegrown star following their 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace last week after he opted not to renew his deal at Anfield - but they won't be left
empty-handed. Supporters have been left furious that their academy prospect was set to depart without the club that produced him benefiting from his transfer. Now, Liverpool are set to rake
in a small profit for a player that was going to be available for free on June 30. Madrid will hand Liverpool a fee of £8.4m, with the total package coming to around £10m after Madrid pay
the player's salary for the final month of his contract. Alexander-Arnold will officially become a Real Madrid player on June 1. The 26-year-old has signed a six-year deal and will
pocket wages of £220,000-a-week at the Bernabeu, where he arrives after winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup and the Champions League. READ MORE: Jamie Carragher

Announcing the move, Real said: "Real Madrid CF and Liverpool FC have reached an agreement that will keep Trent Alexander-Arnold at our club for the next six seasons, from June 1, 2025,
to June 30, 2031." Article continues below Liverpool gave a muted statement for a player who has turned out for them for the last 20 years - after joining at the age of six. They said:
"Liverpool FC can confirm an offer has been accepted for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid for his transfer upon the opening of the June transfer window. The full-back is now set
to join the La Liga club ahead of the expiry of his Reds contract this summer. "Liverpool will receive a fee for his services, with the deal to be concluded once the window opens on
June 1. Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool FC with the club appreciative and grateful for his contribution to those successes." Liverpool are expected to sign Jeremie Frimpong as
Alexander-Arnold's replacement. The Bayer Leverkusen star completing a medical on Merseyside this week. Alexander-Arnold will challenge Dani Carvajal at right-back when he returns from
injury, but he will be unable to wear his favourite shirt number 66. La Liga rules state all players must wear numbers between 1 and 25. Article continues below He leaves Liverpool after
making a total of 354 appearances across nine seasons for the first team, scoring 23 times. _Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of MIRROR FOOTBALL content. We also
