Trent reveals why he switched Liverpool for Real Madrid: 'I felt that…'

The transfer market for the Merengue team was much more fruitful than many might've thought, since with the arrival of the new players, there was an interesting change in certain areas. One of these is Alexander-Arnold, who arrived from the club that had trained him since he was a child, Liverpool, and did so, in theory, as a free agent. "It was one of the most difficult decisions of my life, Liverpool is my home, it made me who I am; but Madrid felt like the right move, at the right time" were his words.

Clearly, he still has a lot to prove at Real Madrid, which will, after many years, have serious competition at right back where he'll have to earn a spot against Carvajal. However, the player himself says that the decision was the right one and that he hopes to see results in the process.

Trent's decision

Arnold had shown at Liverpool that he was competing not only to be the best in his position in the Premier League, but in all of Europe. This caught the attention of major teams, including Real Madrid, which had kept an eye on him for many years as a dream for Florentino. In the end, this dream came true, but not before the player had to make a complicated decision to leave his country and the teams he loves.

Taking the step toward the best in the world is by no means an easy task if you're a foreigner, since it means leaving behind more than others and sacrificing many things in your life. This is exactly what Arnold thought, and after much analysis, it was a small price to pay for everything Real Madrid could offer.

Despite the reaction of many fans, the player made the decision to leave the Anfield club to test himself in the top leagues of the soccer world. Now it's his turn to give back a little of what Madrid is betting on him, with an exceptional spell at the club.

Make it worthwhile

Decisions are complicated, but they're always for a reason. That's why the player has to make this one worthwhile and, at the same time, help the Merengues become even greater with his name etched in history.
