BBC LIVE

After months of speculation, Alexander-Arnold confirmed his departure from Liverpool on May 5, 2025, via social media, citing the need for a “fresh challenge” after helping the Reds secure their 20th Premier League title. Sources confirm that Real Madrid have secured a verbal agreement for a six-year contract, reportedly worth £240,000 per week, with a significant signing-on bonus. The deal is in its final stages and expected to be signed in the coming weeks.

Real Madrid have clinched a major coup, finalizing a deal to sign Liverpool’s star right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will join the Spanish giants as a free agent this summer. The 26-year-old England international, whose contract with Liverpool expires on June 30, 2025, is set to embark on a new chapter at the Santiago Bernabéu, ending a 20-year journey with his boyhood club.
