The white team will end up paying 5M euros to Liverpool to release him for the Club World Cup

Bombshell on El Chiringuito. Josep Pedrerol has revealed news that shakes the market. Trent Alexander-Arnold will play the Club World Cup with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will pay 5 million euros to Liverpool to have the full-back right away.

"Madrid will pay 5M to Liverpool for Arnold to play the Club World Cup," stated Pedrerol live.

The agreement is already closed. The English defender will join Xabi Alonso's team immediately.

Signed and available for the World Cup

Alexander-Arnold will not arrive in July. He will be available from the first minute of the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid has accelerated the operation so that Xabi Alonso has all his reinforcements from the start.

"Arnold will go to the Club World Cup, they will pay about 5 million to Liverpool so he can go. Therefore, it is already closed for 5 million," Pedrerol insisted.

The English full-back's contract ends this summer. But Madrid did not want to wait. They prefer to pay this symbolic amount and have him right away.

Three reinforcements for Xabi Alonso

With the arrival of Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid adds three reinforcements for the Club World Cup.

Dean Huijsen was the first. The club already made his signing official a few days ago.

The second will be Álvaro Carreras, Benfica's left-back. His signing is very advanced and is expected to be announced shortly.

The third, already closed, is Trent Alexander-Arnold.

All three will be available for Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid's new coach will be presented today.

Florentino Pérez wants to offer him a competitive team from the start. He is achieving it.

His quality, vision of the game, and offensive capability make him a top-level reinforcement for the right-back position.

For only 5 million euros, Madrid secures a strategic signing. They do it before his contract ends.

In summary: Alexander-Arnold will play the Club World Cup with Real Madrid. The operation is closed. He joins Huijsen and Carreras as the first three reinforcements of the Xabi Alonso era.
