Alexander-Arnold is now a full member of Real Madrid. His arrival was made official at a ceremony in which club president Florentino Perez welcomed him. The event took place after the full back passed the relevant medical examinations.
After a video compilation of the player’s best moments from Liverpool, the president took the floor to welcome his new reinforcement:
“Dear Trent Alexander-Arnold, welcome to Real Madrid. We are once again living a very important day, because a player who has won everything and marked an era at one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, Liverpool, is coming to Real Madrid.
“Now he wants to continue writing his love story with football at Real Madrid.
“You could have chosen any club in the world, but you chose us, and no one will forget that,” he continued.
Trent Alexander-Arnold then surprised those present by addressing them in very good Spanish:
“Good afternoon, everyone, thank you both to President Florentino Perez and Real Madrid for this opportunity. I am very happy and proud to be here; it is a dream come true.
“I’m ready to give my all for the team and the Madridistas. I really want to show my game and be a champion. Thank you, and Hala Madrid!”
