Nobody doubts it and everyone takes it for granted:Trent Alexander-Arnold will be a new player for Real Madrid. There is a total agreement, which still lacks the signature, for the Englishman to land at Santiago Bernabéu. Although he will join as a free player on June 30, it seems that Florentino would like to take advantage of the novelty introduced by FIFA in this upcoming market.
This coming summer the renewed Club World Cup will be held, allowing FIFA to register players 'exceptionally' between June 1 and 10. The idea that Real Madrid has is to have Arnold available for this new tournament, a point confirmed by OKDiario. The main problem is that, for this, a deal would have to be negotiated with his current club, Liverpool.
Real Madrid Wants Arnold in the Club World Cup.
Arnold's contract ends on June 30, so he couldn't be registered as a 'free' player by Real Madrid. This means that, for him to play in the Club World Cup as Florentino wants, it will be necessary to reach an agreement with Liverpool. One of the options would be to cover the salary he would still be owed by the Reds, without paying any transfer fee.
From Madrid, it is believed that Liverpool might relent by not participating in this competition, allowing Arnold to be available. It won't be easy, as revealed by the media led by Eduardo Inda, although this tournament is being planned with the presence of the English full-back.
Arnold, Free Signing for Real Madrid
As of June 30, Arnold will have already finished his contract with the Reds, allowing Real Madrid to take him freely. Despite this, it won't be a free signing for Florentino Pérez's team, who have reached an agreement to pay a significant signing bonus to the English full-back.
In this regard, Alexander-Arnold won't receive more than 20 million for the signing bonus, remaining below Rüdiger or Alaba, among others. He is eager to start his career at Real Madrid, where he hopes to compete and win all possible titles.
The plan is clear, as revealed by Eduardo Inda's media. Everything depends on trying to convince the English to 'release' Arnold so he can play in the Club World Cup with Real Madrid.
