Alexander-Arnold had agreed to Madrid at the expiry of his contract with AnfieldBut then could not sign for his new side until July 1, by that time they would be halfway through the summer tournament in the United States. Madrid started a conversation earlier this month and agreed a considerable fee to get their new right back for the first competitive matches of Xabi Alonso.

Such a sale is an important coup for Liverpool, which had long been resigned when losing the English international. The Spanish giants had initially proposed a reimbursement of less than $ 1 million, instead they received more than half of the bid they rejected from Madrid for the services of Alexander-Arnold in December. They will also save a monthly wage.

Liverpool is expected to replace Alexander-Arnold by Jeremie Frimpong, who arrives from Bayer Leverkusen in a $ 40 million deal. They also focus on his teammate Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth have left Milos Kerkez.

Both have a little more than fourteen days to familiarize themselves with his new teammates before the Madrid campaign will start against Al-Hilal on 18 June.
