Trent Alexander-Arnold has ended the uncertainty about his future by confirming that he will leave Liverpool this summer, with the expectation that he will join Real Madrid.
The 26-year-old, the vice-captain of Liverpool, is expected to sign a long-term agreement with the Spanish giants.
Mail Sport reported that a change of lifestyle is one of the main reasons of Alexander-Arnold to move to Madrid, but the most important thing is to take on a new professional challenge.
Mail Sport understands that Alexander-Arnold does not have to officially sign a contract yet, but will do it soon. Alexander-Arnold would have the advantage of becoming a member of his friend and fellow England International Jude Bellingham in the Spanish capital.
The presence of Bellingham could help to alleviate the transition for Alexander-Arnold, who was born and raised in Liverpool before playing the leading role for the Premier League Giants.
Prior to his expected step, Mail Sport looks at how the new life of Alexander-Arnold in Madrid could look.
Where can Alexander-Arnold live?
If he registered on the dotted line, the first port of Alexander-Arnold would decide where he lives in the Spanish capital.
If he turns to Bellingham for advice, Alexander-Arnold could live in what is dubbed as the 'Beverly Hills' of Madrid.
Bellingham is staying in a £ 5.5 million real estate in the Gated Vip Bunker -Wijk -Wijk of La Finca – The Ranch – since he signed for Los Blancos in June 2023.
The Gated VIP district is located on a 15-minute north-west of the city center in the upper city of the higher class of Pozuelo de Alarcon, where Cristiano Ronaldo still has a mansion.
Bellingham is supposed to rent and share with his mother who helps him deal with his schedule and other things.
The house of the midfielder of the English midfielder reportedly has six bedrooms, a home theater, as well as a sauna, gym and swimming pool in the garden.
Alexander-Arnold would join a large number of Real Madrid stars to have called La Finca Home, with club legends Iker Casillas, Raul and Zinedine Zidane who lived there during their spells in the club.
More recently, people like Eden Hazard and Toni Kroos are to those who called the neighborhood at home.
One of the most recent residents of La Finca is another of the selection framework of Real Madrid, with Kylian Mbappe notification that he paid € 10.5 million to buy a luxury mansion that was previously owned by Gareth Bale.
Stars tend to live in Los Lagos I or II, named after the artificial lakes made in the complex, with the first with the larger properties.
La Finca promises to deliver an 'exclusive combination of luxury and security to make our guests' lives comfortable and calm'.
Private development says that guests with security '24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. '
“Continuously guarded circumferences protect the paradise of Lafinca,” says the website of the development.
'Located in Pozuelo de Alarcón, 10 minutes from the center of Madrid and the airport. Close to international schools, private clinics, shopping centers with the most exclusive stores and a wide range of sports and leisure activities.
“With a contemporary and elegant architecture, the horizontal shapes are seamlessly in nature, creating a perfect harmonious complex that offers our guests a unique setting.”
An alternative location for Alexander-Arnold could be the la Moraleja district, which is located near Real Madrid's Valdebebas Training Ground.
David and Victoria Beckham bought a house in La Moraleja in June 2005 for £ 3 million after the former captain of England came to Real Madrid. They sold it to a rich Spanish entrepreneur for £ 4.2 million almost ten years later and eight years after they have moved.
The house had an outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis courts, a small football field and a play area for children.
Vinicius JR and Luka Modric are among the current Real Madrid stars who have chosen to live in the La Moraleja district. La Moraleja has long been one of the favorite homes for star players and other important names in Spain.
Those who lived there include Beckham, Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, actress Ana Obregon and singer Isabel Pantoja.
It used to be a private estate of a widow Marchioness to the mid -20th century for the construction of the first family houses. Within the main property, homes are gated and private, while 24/7 security is in operation.
What could his life look like in Madrid?
If Alexander-Arnold opts for La Finca, the star could find a frequent visitor to the recent projects of private developments.
La Finca opened its Grand Cafe Center in 2023 and offered a mix of store options and restaurants.
His football players are reportedly frequent visitors to the Center's Indochina Restaurant offered with Asian cuisine, as well as the Italian Leonardo and Sushi restaurant Totori.
The center also includes luxury points of sale, ranging from fashion, interior design, perfumes and a winery.
Elsewhere, La Finca recently opened a golf course that is exclusive to members who could visit Alexander-Arnold if he decides to step in Bale's footsteps
The exclusive course is also supplied complete with its own gym, Driving Range and even has a special helicopter platform. La Finca also has its own David Lloyd Fitness Center, which offers state-of-the-art gym facilities and private tennis lessons.
Alexander-Arnold, who was seen in the past both in Milan and on Paris's fashion week, would also have a wide selection of retail options in the Spanish Captial with Calle de Serrano a likely location.
Calle de Serrano has become known as 'Golden Mile' by Madrid because of the luxury shops, with designer brands such as Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton and Prada among those on the street.
Last year Alexander-Arnold was unveiled as an ambassador for Guess Jeans with the English international who appeared in a shoot for the fashion brand with Iris Law, the daughter of actor Jude Law.
In terms of travel around the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold would probably benefit from partnership Real Madrid with the German car manufacturer BMW.
Twenty-two players and Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti were gifted free luxury cars as part of the Tie last year.
Bellingham, Mbappe and Modric have all received black BMW XM for which prices on the road vary between £ 110,000 and £ 175,000.
Who could join Alexander-Arnold in Madrid?
Alexander-Arnold was able to make the switch to the Spanish capital with his influencer girlfriend Estelle Behnke.
The departing Liverpool star led to rumors about a romance in November when the couple enjoyed a meal in Cheshire and a day at the Christmas markets.
The couple was seen 'along' the Venetian restaurant after Liverpool's victory over Leicester over Boxing Day. They were also spotted in the Soho farm in the Cotswolds with both tags there in separate Instagram posts.
Alexander-Arnold and Behnke also left for Venice in December.
The couple was broken in the lush Italian restaurant Regina Corner, where the couple stays in the £ 1,5000 per night Aman Hotel in the idyllic city.
The Alexander-Arnold family was also close to football star, and his parents Dianne and Michael were also able to make the move to Spain to illuminate the transition from the star to life in Madrid.
He has also described his brothers Marcell and Tyler – who is director at PLG, the agency that represents the Liverpool star – as his best friends.
They have been a fundamental part of his journey through professional football, so it would be no surprise if they joined him.
