Liverpool reveals when Alexander-Arnold can join Real Madrid

The agreed date when Real Madrid can welcome Trent Alexander-Arnold

One of the most important signings for the summer is Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. Keeping as a rumor for several months, Real Madrid is waiting to make this operation a reality. With Arnold confirming his departure from Liverpool and his contract too close to ending, everything seems ready for his eventual arrival.

However, the date of his arrival at Valdebebas remains a big mystery despite the proximity of summer. While there are some possible dates, the most likely one is near the start of the Club World Cup. This is because, hurt by losing Arnold completely free, Liverpool will look for a way to complicate the signing.

This has presented as an unexpected problem for a Real Madrid that trusted having Arnold shortly after the end of the season. With Liverpool having the clear intention of receiving some money for Arnold, the operation for him has become complicated.

Arnold's arrival

At 26 years old and after 9 seasons at Liverpool, Arnold made the decision to take the next step in his career.  After playing 3,044 minutes this season, Arnold is ready to finally be part of Real Madrid. Strengthening the right-back position, his transfer would help Real Madrid have more versatility from this side.

Having a contract that ends on June 30 of this year, Real Madrid trusted having his presence before this. With the goal of conquering the Club World Cup, Arnold could be a key piece for Real Madrid to make history.

However, Liverpool's recent decision shows their stance on losing one of their most historic players. Despite having accepted Arnold's departure, Liverpool seeks to take advantage of Arnold's still valid contract to obtain some benefit.

The inconvenience for Real Madrid

Despite this problem, Real Madrid is completely sure that Arnold's signing is practically done.  The only thing left to do is reach an agreement with Liverpool to allow the Englishman to be in the Club World Cup.
