Trent Alexander-Arnold is poised to sign a five-year contract with Real Madrid, bringing an end to his extraordinary 20-year tenure with Liverpool.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Monday via X that a verbal agreement has been finalized, with the deal now in place.
“Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, here we go,” Romano reported. “Documents being prepared for Trent to join Real Madrid on a five-year contract.”
The move comes shortly after Alexander-Arnold publicly confirmed his decision to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
The club’s vice-captain made the emotional announcement following Liverpool’s successful campaign to secure a 20th Premier League title.
“After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season,” the 26-year-old said. “This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
Alexander-Arnold, who rose through Liverpool’s academy to become one of the club’s most influential players, said he delayed speaking out to remain fully focused on the team’s title ambitions.
“I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team’s best interests, which was securing No.20,” he explained.
The England international now looks set to begin a new chapter in Spain with the European giants, Real Madrid.
