Liverpool benefit financially, Real Madrid get their player in time for the Club World Cup — a win for all involved.
Alexander-Arnold will join £50 million-rated defender Dean Huijsen in Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid squad. He is expected to adapt to playing as a wing-back in the Spaniard’s preferred 3-4-3 formation.
The Englishman is likely to make his debut for Madrid in their Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal on June 18, followed by matches against Pachuca on June 22 and Red Bull Salzburg on June 26.***
