Real Madrid Confidencial Liverpool pushed Real Madrid to the limit, Arnold will play in the World Cup for this price
After the official announcement, it has come to light how much Madrid will pay to bring his arrival forward
It was an open secret, but Real Madrid have now officially announced the signing of Alexander Arnold. The player had reached an agreement with the Merengue side several weeks ago. However, there was still a major obstacle to overcome, which was Liverpool, so they could release him earlier.
Los Blancos wanted to have him for the Club World Cup, but to do so, they had to reach an agreement with the Reds. With a contract until June 30, they have been negotiating for days. Although Liverpool made things difficult, everything has finally been settled.
Real Madrid will be able to count on Alexander Arnold during the Club World Cup, although they had to pay. The Merengues have agreed to pay €10 million to make it happen. This amount will have to be added to the signing bonus to know the real cost.
However, Los Blancos have made a great move by securing the signing of Alexander Arnold. Even more so to compete in the World Cup, since there are still doubts about whether Carvajal will be ready in time. The Briton guarantees a quality right-back to avoid so many problems.
Real Madrid keep shaping their squad for next season
With the official announcement of Alexander Arnold, Real Madrid complete their third signing for the next campaign. The first was Huijsen, who will also be present at the Club World Cup this summer. Then Xabi Alonso, the only one who has been presented so far.
It doesn't seem like things will stop there, as at least two more additions are expected. The first would be Álvaro Carreras, whose agreement is practically closed. Only Benfica needs to set a final price for his transfer.
The return of Nico Paz is easier, since for €8 million ($8 million) he will once again be a Real Madrid player. They have a preferential option for the Argentine and it seems they're going to activate it this summer. After the World Cup, it's not ruled out that more reinforcements could arrive, such as a midfielder or a box striker.
