It was never a question of where - but it wasn't an easy decision

REAL WAS ONLY CLUB I'D HAVE LEFT REDS FOR, SAYS TRENT

- By PAUL GORST

TRENT Alexander-Arnold said Real Madrid is the only club he would have left Liverpool for as he was unveiled by the Spanish yesterday.

The 26-year-old moved to the Spanish capital earlier this month after the La Liga giants paid £10m to release him from his Reds contract a month early so he could feature for los Blancos at the Club World Cup, which begins on Sunday in the United States.

The nature of Alexander-Arnold’s move was a controversial one that divided opinion among the club's worldwide fanbase and he was loudly booed when he emerged as a second-half substitute in last month’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
