It’s widely been accepted that he is set to join Real Madrid, but the deal is yet to be confirmed by any of the parties involved.
Now, according to ESPN, Alexander-Arnold rejected a ‘significant’ pay rise at the club in favour of joining the Spanish giants.
The offer would have made him among the highest-paid fullbacks in the world, although he had already set his heart on a new challenge.
