The vice-captain admitted that the decision was “the hardest of his life,” but ultimately came down to one factor: ambition.
After lifting every major trophy with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold revealed he felt it was the right moment to embrace a new challenge abroad and test himself on a different stage.
His move to the Bernabéu stunned supporters worldwide, but the defender stressed that it was not about money or leaving Liverpool behind, but about pushing his career to new heights.
“This club has given me everything, and leaving was never going to be easy,” he reflected, paying tribute to his teammates, coaches, and the Anfield faithful. “But ambition drives me, and I believe this is the next step for me as a player.”
For Liverpool fans, the departure of their vice-captain is a painful blow, marking the end of an era. For Real Madrid, it represents the arrival of a proven winner and one of the most creative defenders in world football.
