UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid has closed a key move for the future: Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a new Merengue player. The English full-back, whose contract with Liverpool ends on June 30, will arrive at no cost, becoming one of the great summer signings. However, if the white club wants to have him from the start of the Club World Cup, they will have to bring his incorporation forward by paying a sum close to two million euros.
The Anfield team has made it clear that they will not hinder the early departure of the British international, but it will not be free. Liverpool requests a compensation of just over a million euros from Real Madrid to release the player before the end of his contract, in addition to assuming the salary for the month of June, raising the operation slightly above two million.
They will have to pay to have him a month earlier
FIFA, on the other hand, will facilitate the player's registration through a special transfer window between June 1 and 10, a period exclusively enabled for the clubs participating in the new format of the Club World Cup, which will take place in the United States.
🚨 As it stands, Liverpool won't release Trent Alexander-Arnold early from his contract so that he can play for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup.

In this way, if the white sports management approves economically, Carlo Ancelotti will be able to count on one of the best right-backs in the world from the start of the international competition. Real Madrid ensures reinforcing their right flank with a top-level player, surpassing the rest of the suitors and adding a new star without paying a transfer fee, although with a small financial effort to have him available a month earlier.
