Marca Drops the Bomb: Alexander-Arnold Could Debut Earlier Than Expected with Real Madrid
A top Marca journalist has revealed a key detail about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future
Barring official confirmation, Trent Alexander-Arnold is already a Real Madrid player, which has Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez rubbing their hands in excitement.
Liverpool has already clinched the Premier League title, while Real Madrid is nearing the end of their season, so Madridistas are eagerly awaiting the final chapter of this story.
Reinforcement for the Club World Cup?
However, the British defender could make his debut with Real Madrid as early as this season, as the club hopes to have him available for the Club World Cup – a possibility revealed by journalist José Félix Díaz.
“His arrival is certain, but the moment of contract signing is still pending. Although throughout the negotiation he has shown determination and a clear desire to join the white club, there’s always a slim chance of backing out — something Real Madrid sees as impossible. It’s even possible he could appear at the Club World Cup in a white shirt, but that would require an agreement or permission from Liverpool during the newly created FIFA window from June 1 to 10,” stated the MARCA journalist.
This scenario is realistic, especially since FIFA has approved a short transfer window for the tournament. However, it will depend on Liverpool’s willingness and on who will be managing the Madrid bench at that time.
The relationship between Real Madrid and Liverpool’s boardrooms is excellent, so there is strong belief at the Santiago Bernabéu that this could happen.
Bringing Trent Alexander-Arnold into the squad for FIFA’s club competition would be a major boost in quality — but for now, all eyes are on the final outcome of this operation.
