Real Madrid has received great news. They could strengthen the weakest position in the squad from the summer with one of the best players in the world in the right-back position. Real has Dani Carvajal (33) at right-back, who has been seriously injured since autumn.

He is expected to return this summer. Carlo Ancelotti also has Lucas Vazquez (33) available, and sometimes midfielder Federico Valverde plays in that position. With Trent's arrival, Real solves all problems at right-back.

Alexander-Arnold was born in Liverpool and has been with the club of the same name since childhood, for which he has scored 23 goals and provided 92 assists in 351 appearances. He has won everything with Liverpool: two Premier Leagues and two League Cups, as well as one Champions League, FA Cup, and Club World Cup each. This season, he has four goals and eight assists in 41 appearances. According to Transfermarkt, he is valued at 75 million euros.

The footballer said an emotional farewell to Liverpool:

"This is undoubtedly the hardest decision I have ever made in my life. I know many of you have wondered why I haven't spoken about this yet or have been frustrated by the silence, but my intention from the start was to remain completely focused on what was best for the team, and that was to secure the 20th title.

This club has been my whole life - my whole world - for 20 years. From the Academy all the way to today, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be grateful to all of you.

But I have never known anything else, and this decision is related to the desire to experience a new challenge, to step out of my comfort zone, and to develop further, both professionally and personally. I have given absolutely everything every day since I've been here, and I hope you feel that I have given something back to you during my time at the club.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone – my coaches, my managers, my teammates, all the staff, and our incredible fans – for these 20 years. I have been fortunate enough to fulfill my dreams here, and I will never, ever take for granted all the special moments I have had the opportunity to experience with you. My love for this club will never die."
