Real Madrid have inserted a £840m release clause into Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract following confirmation of his signing from Liverpool, according to reports.

Los Blancos will be able to welcome Alexander-Arnold to their ranks in June, with the right-back eligible to play at the Club World Cup given a fee has been agreed with Liverpool for his transfer.

New head coach Xabi Alonso will likely use the defender on the right side of a back five as a wing-back, and he will be joined in defence by centre-back Dean Huijsen, who was also signed from the Premier League this summer.

Real will hope that the pair can be the face of a new golden era at the Bernabeu, leading the club to success both domestically and in Europe.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Real Madrid have made it practically impossible for any side to pry Alexander-Arnold away given his release clause stands at £840m, with the club keen to have the defender at the heart of their team for years to come.

While winning the Club World Cup would bring in significant revenue for the Spanish giants, Alonso's time in the capital will ultimately be judged on his success in the Champions League.
