MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold on Friday in time for the Club World Cup after paying a reported fee of 10 million euros ($11 million) to Liverpool.
The 26-year-old England right back has agreed to a six-year deal through June 2031, the Spanish club said.
Madrid said Alexander-Arnold will play for Xabi Alonso’s team at the Club World Cup to be held in the United States starting in mid-June.
Alexander-Arnold had been criticized by some Liverpool fans for having let his contract run down — meaning he could leave as a free agent. But the deal announced Friday means Liverpool will get at least something.
