Real Madrid accelerated the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool by paying around 8.4m to avoid losing him for free. This decision paid off as Alexander-Arnold started every match in the Club World Cup, providing an assist that helped advance the team past Juventus. His performance contributed to an expected substantial financial gain for Madrid, with potential earnings of 125m if they win the tournament. His adaptation to the team and new system under coach Xabi Alonso has been promising, with increasing confidence on the pitch.
Real Madrid paid Liverpool around 8.4m for Trent Alexander-Arnold when they could have got him for free just a month later.
Having started every game in Real's Club World Cup campaign, Alexander-Arnold provided his first assist as 21-year-old striker Gonzalo Garcia further enhanced his growing reputation.
Madrid will meet either Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey in the quarter-finals, and could earn up to 125m if they go on to win the tournament.
This has allowed Trent to get used to Real Madrid. He has to be excited by what is to come - and so will Real Madrid.
