Alexander-Arnold followed in the footsteps of England teammate and close friend Jude Bellingham, who surprised the media with his Spanish during his debut in June 2023.
Prior to Alexander-Arnold’s comments, Perez praised the defender on joining the club and claimed he was one of the finest in the world.
“We’ve signed a legend, one of the best in the world,” Perez announced.
“Trent’s desire came true. You’ve chosen to play for Real Madrid, the world’s biggest club.”
Although it is unclear when Alexander-Arnold will make his La Liga debut, it is possible that it will take place as early as June 18 during Real Madrid’s Club World Cup match against Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
