"The England international would have exited on a free transfer but for Real paying an 8.5m fee to cancel his Liverpool contract early and include him in their squad for the Club World Cup. The 27-year-old was part of a Real delegation that laid floral tributes to Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva outside Anfield on Monday night. The head coach and former Liverpool midfielder Alonso, the defender Dean Huijsen and Real's director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, were also present."
"He has to have his own feelings and enjoy it his own way. So I am not going to say how he needs to feel it. For sure his history is different from mine, he was born and bred in Liverpool. I remember him from a young age in the academy and then coming to the first team and winning the Champions League."
Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool at the end of his contract and joined Real Madrid after the club paid an 8.5m fee to cancel his Liverpool contract early. The decision has angered many Liverpool fans and a hostile reception is expected when he returns to Anfield. Alexander-Arnold participated in laying floral tributes to Diogo Jota and Andre Silva outside Anfield alongside Real Madrid representatives. Xabi Alonso, now Real head coach and a former Liverpool midfielder, said Alexander-Arnold should feel as he wishes and should enjoy the moment of returning to his boyhood club.
