Perez: Arnold is one of the best defenders in the world, and the Bernabeu awaits him
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez welcomed the new arrival Trent Alexander-Arnold during his presentation today, Thursday, as a new player for the royal club with a 6-year contract coming from Liverpool.
Perez said: "Dear Trent Alexander-Arnold, good evening and welcome to the city of Real Madrid. Today, a player who has won everything joins us, one of the best defenders in the world, and a Liverpool legend. Now, he wants to continue writing history with Real Madrid, and he wants to feel the excitement of wearing our shirt."
He added: "I would like to express our gratitude, as we understand what it means to play for Real Madrid for you; we will not forget that. You are coming from Liverpool, the club we love. You have won nine titles at Anfield. All of this in 354 matches."
He continued: "We express our gratitude for choosing Real Madrid; you could have moved to other clubs or stayed at a club like Liverpool, but you chose us because you wanted to play here. You are one of the most goal-producing defenders in the history of the Premier League. You were part of the FIFA lineup in 2020 and part of the UEFA Stars team twice."
He added: "You should be proud of everything you have achieved, whether at Liverpool or with the England national team. Your family has been with you through all these stages of your life. We know how important they are to you. They represent your hard work and effort. They are here to support you on one of the most exciting days of your life. You are now a part of Real Madrid."
He emphasized: "Real Madrid is the most popular and successful club in the world, the club that has won 15 European titles. Your talent and ability to sacrifice convince you that you will achieve what you aim for here. The Santiago Bernabeu awaits you; you will live unique moments there, and you will fall in love with its charm."
He continued: "In Madrid, you will find a wonderful family. A dear friend of yours is there: Jude Bellingham. Besides being great players, they are all Real Madrid fans. You will soon understand what Real Madrid means. Our next challenge is the Club World Cup."
