Real Madrid have officially unveiled Trent Alexander-Arnold as their latest signing, welcoming the England international at a presentation held at the Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday, June 12, 2025. The 25-year-old right-back was introduced to fans and media while wearing the number 12 shirt.
Alexander-Arnold joins the Spanish giants following an agreement with Liverpool for an early contract release, with Madrid reportedly paying £10 million to secure his availability for the upcoming Club World Cup.
His move brings an end to a 20-year journey with Liverpool, where he rose from the youth academy to become one of the world’s premier full-backs. During his time at Anfield, he amassed nine major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and Premier League titles in 2020 and 2025.
On the international stage, he has represented England at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and UEFA Euro 2024.
Real Madrid had long viewed Alexander-Arnold as a key target, and his decision not to extend his Liverpool contract paved the way for the transfer. He has signed a six-year deal that runs until June 30, 2031, highlighting the club’s belief in his long-term contribution.
His Bernabéu presentation celebrated both his past achievements and the promise of a new era. With Alexander-Arnold’s arrival, Madrid aim to strengthen their defensive line and maintain their place at the pinnacle of world football.
