Trent Alexander-Arnold makes controversial statement after joining Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially joined Real Madrid after ending his tenure with Liverpool. The transfer of the 26-year-old right-back has sparked controversy among The Reds’ supporters.

Real Madrid had to pay 10 million pounds to Liverpool as compensation — despite the player being a free agent. This payment was made to enable Alexander-Arnold to participate in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

The situation intensified when the England international made controversial statements following his first training session with Los Blancos — further fueling the anger of Liverpool supporters who were already disappointed with his departure.
