Florentino Pérez hasn't wasted any time. Journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon has reported on his YouTube channel that Real Madrid has completely closed the transfer of Trent Alexander Arnold, Liverpool's right-back. The Englishman's contract ends on June 30, 2025, so he will arrive at no cost to reinforce Madrid's right flank.
The aforementioned highlights that Trent Alexander Arnold has said "yes, I do" to Real Madrid. The agreement for him to arrive on a free transfer in 2025 is "total", but still "nothing has been signed". No scenario is ruled out for the white team, not even the possibility of being able to bring his arrival forward in the January market.
However, that scenario is "complicated" considering that an agreement would have to be reached with Liverpool, his current team. In any case, what Trent Alexander Arnold is clear about is that he wants to wear the Real Madrid jersey. He will do so by arriving completely free from his contract, signing a long-term agreement.
Jude Bellingham: the Key for Trent Alexander Arnold
Bellingham had Florentino Pérez's approval to try to sign his friend. He's a player he likes and fits in well. Soon they'll need to find a replacement for Dani Carvajal and the truth is that Trent Alexander Arnold meets all the requirements that Real Madrid is looking for to replace him.
In England, they've been saying for some time that the possibility of playing at Santiago Bernabéu excites Arnold. He would be happy to see his possible departure, especially if he's joined there by someone like Jude Bellingham. The relationship he has with his compatriot is splendid.
During the Euro Cup training camp, Bellingham spoke highly of the capital of Spain and the club. He ruled out any worries related to his adaptation to a Premier League exit. Everything would be easy, he told him.
Now, months later, journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon has discovered that the agreement between Real Madrid and Trent Alexander Arnold is complete. He will arrive free from his contract on June 30, 2025, saving Florentino a fortune to get Carvajal's long-term replacement. The case is closed.
