He expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team, win titles, and grow as a player alongside some of the world's best.

In a press conference held shortly after his presentation, Alexander-Arnold revealed that he has been learning Spanish for several months, which impressed Perez and the audience. He emphasized his intention to make a strong start at the club, beginning with the Club World Cup.

Alexander-Arnold will wear the number 12 shirt at Real Madrid, as opposed to the number 66 he wore at Liverpool. He joins fellow England international Jude Bellingham, and both players are expected to play key roles for the team.

As he embarks on this new chapter, Alexander-Arnold looks forward to working under Real Madrid's new manager, Xabi Alonso, who he has admired since his time at Liverpool. The England international aims to replicate his past successes and help Real Madrid continue its rich legacy in football.
