Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to move to Real Madrid as a free transfer when his contract expires this summer. He will end his 20-year association with Liverpool and move to the Spanish club under a five-year contract worth more than £ 220,000 per week, amounting to £11.5 million per year.
Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid has angered Anfield fans despite the transfer talk being in the spotlight for months. He was an asset to Liverpool and helped the club win the Premier League and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance.
Alex Crook, chief football correspondent on talkSport highlighted that Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, hasn’t really commented publicly about his contract with Liverpool. He said the defender tried to be as respectful as possible and didn’t want to cause any sort of distraction to Liverpool’s title challenge.
