Tinotenda Hove – Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially signed with Real Madrid, bringing an end to his celebrated tenure at Liverpool and marking the start of an exciting new chapter in La Liga.

The England international is expected to be presented as a Real Madrid player in a matter of hours, with fans eagerly awaiting his unveiling at the Santiago Bernabéu.

In a symbolic shift, Alexander-Arnold will don the number 12 jersey—a shirt once worn by legendary Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos. The switch sees him part ways with the iconic number 66 he wore throughout his Liverpool career, where he rose from academy graduate to one of the Premier League’s finest right-backs.

His move to Madrid is already making waves across the football world, with supporters and pundits alike anticipating how the dynamic fullback will fit into Carlo Ancelotti’s star-studded squad.

Real Madrid are yet to release the full details of the deal, but sources close to the club suggest Alexander-Arnold’s arrival is part of a broader plan to bolster the team’s defensive options while maintaining their attacking flair from the back.

The 25-year-old arrives in Spain with a Champions League medal, Premier League title, and a reputation as one of football’s most creative defenders. Madridistas will now be hoping he can replicate—and perhaps even surpass—those heights in the famous white jersey.
