Better Than Koundé, MARCA Announces Madrid's First Transfer for 2025: 'He Said Yes'

Florentino Pérez has received the confirmation and is about to sign his contract with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid hasn't wasted any time in recent weeks and has practically sealed the first transfer for the next season: Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool. The information from MARCA is clear: "He has already informed Liverpool's management that his desire is to play for Real Madrid". Although Anfield was trying to finalize his renewal, the reply has been clear: he's going to Bernabéu.

Alexander-Arnold has been in continuous contact with his good friend Jude Bellingham, who has only spoken wonders about Real Madrid. The reports he has received couldn't be more positive, and he's eager to land in Spain, intending to sign his contract starting January 1. He ends his contract with Liverpool on June 30 and has already communicated that he won't renew, leaving completely free.

What Liverpool didn't want was to reach January 1 with the future of its players hanging in the air. Although the reply wasn't what they expected, they already know that Trent Alexander-Arnold has no intention of continuing and will head to Real Madrid in 2025.  At 26 years old, he has decided to move to Bernabéu at no cost, being a case similar to players like Alaba, Rüdiger, or Mbappé.

In this regard, much has been said about the possibility of bringing forward the English fullback's arrival during the winter market, but this has been ruled out by the red club. The idea is clear: he will stay at Anfield until his contract ends, then head to a Santiago Bernabéu where he will be welcomed with open arms. In Real Madrid's locker room, the main figures of the team are already waiting for him, with his arrival being supported by Bellingham.

Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid: Florentino Already Has the "yes, I Do"

Trent Alexander-Arnold's commitment to Real Madrid is total. Liverpool has tried repeatedly and unsuccessfully to renew his contract in recent months. Ancelotti likes the Englishman because he closely resembles his ideal fullback, who is none other than Dani Carvajal. Strong at the back, fast, and capable of becoming a winger if needed.

Liverpool has scored a high number of goals in recent years thanks to him. Always taking advantage of his spurts down the wing, reaching the byline, and serving the ball to the head or foot. Additionally, he has a knack for scoring and takes free kicks with great precision. Ancelotti has no doubts that he will be a essential pillar in Real Madrid's future.

Moreover, his friendship with Jude Bellingham will greatly facilitate his adaptation to a club as special as Real Madrid. Trent Alexander-Arnold is eager to arrive at Bernabéu, and all parties already know what his decision is.
