Right ahead of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Trent Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid. On 12 June, he had his official presentation. The England international spoke in Spanish and shocked the world.
It is unusual for English players to speak Spanish right from the beginning. The 26-year-old right back is joining Real on a free transfer.
Speaking Spanish well indicated that Alexander-Arnold had long planned to move to Spain. Liverpool received a fee from Real to let the England right-back play for them at the CWC, starting this weekend.
The former LFC full-back is also a squad member of Real for the Club World Cup in the United States.
Alexander-Arnold is known for his amazing ability to create chances in the final third, something Real might fancy in seasons to come.
“Thank you so much to President Florentino Perez and Real Madrid for this opportunity,” he said.
He left the Reds after making them win their second Premier League title. Leaving questions over his defensive ability, Trent has been considered as the best right-back in the world.
