This is sad news for Liverpool fans, because Arnold is one of the team's iconic stars.

Arnold joined Liverpool's youth academy at the age of 6, and made his debut for the club in 2016 - at the age of 18. After 9 seasons, Arnold has made 349 appearances for Liverpool, and is considered one of the best right-backs in the world.

Transfermarkt values ​​Arnold at €80m, but Liverpool will not receive any transfer fee in this transfer, as Arnold's contract expires this summer and he will leave as a free agent.

The 26-year-old star has repeatedly refused to renew his contract with Liverpool over the past year. Rumors of his move to Real Madrid have also been frequently reported in the Spanish press.

But as of today, March 25, most reputable sports news sites such as BBC and Sky Sports have published information that Real Madrid has reached a transfer agreement with Arnold.

Accordingly, Arnold will join Real Madrid as a free agent, signing a 5-year contract and receiving a salary of about 15 million euros/year. This salary is nearly 1.5 times higher than Arnold's current salary at Liverpool. Not only that, Arnold also promises to receive a very large signing bonus.

Luring top superstars on free transfers is a method Real Madrid has implemented for many years. From 2021 to now, Real Madrid has owned Alaba, Rudiger and Mbappe on free transfers.

Arnold promises to be the perfect replacement for Carvajal - the 33-year-old right-back, who is unlikely to recover after suffering a serious injury this season.

For Liverpool, this will be a heavy blow to their ambitions. Arnold is not only a star, he is also "planned" to become the future captain of the team.

At the end of last season, Arnold burst into tears on the day Liverpool held a farewell ceremony for coach Jurgen Klopp. The departure of the German strategist was one of the reasons why Arnold was no longer interested in Anfield.
