Trent Alexander-Arnold will earn a salary at Real Madrid worth a staggering €176,000 per week AFTER tax, according to Paul Joyce.

The right back will be paid very handsomely as he will take home over €9 million per year after tax deductions.
Marca also reports that Trent will be paid a €20m signing-on fee from Real Madrid.
So, over his reported six year contract, Alexander-Arnold will earn an astonishing €54m from his wages, plus the signing-on fee.
Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool
Alexander-Arnold released a statement on Monday in which he confirmed he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season on a free transfer.
"After 20 years at Liverpool Football Club, now is the time for me to confirm that I will be leaving at the end of the season,” he said on Instagram.
"This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.
"I know many of you have wondered why or been frustrated that I haven’t spoken about this yet, but it was always my intention to keep my full focus on the team’s best interests, which was securing No.20.
"This club has been my whole life – my whole world - for 20 years. From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all."
Alexander-Arnold continued: "But, I have never known anything else and this decision is about experiencing a new challenge, taking myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself both professionally and personally.
"I’ve given my all every single day I’ve been at this club, and I hope you feel like I’ve given back to you during my time here.
"From the bottom of my heart, I thank everybody – my coaches, my managers, my teammates, the staff and our incredible supporters - for the last 20 years.
"I’ve been blessed enough to live out my dreams here and I will never, ever take for granted the special moments I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived through with you all. My love for this club will never die."
Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of Alexander-Arnold and see the right back as the long-term successor to the ageing and injured Dani Carvajal.
It remains to be seen whether Trent will join Madrid on July 1 or a deal will be done so he arrives earlier for the Club World Cup in June.
Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool
Alexander-Arnold was born in Liverpool and grew up in the club’s youth academy from the age of six.
He made his senior debut for Liverpool at the age of 18 in 2016 and went on to become a key player in Jurgen Klopp’s successful era at the club.
Famed for his brilliant right-foot, vision and long cross-field passes, Alexander Arnold has made over 300 appearances for Liverpool.
He has won eight trophies with Liverpool, including the 2019 Champions League and the 2020 and 2025 Premier Leagues.
He has been capped 33 times by England but under previous manager Gareth Southgate never had the same trust from his country as he has had at his club.
