Real Madrid star accidentally confirms Trent Alexander-Arnold signing before official unveiling

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal says he's prepared to welcome the challenge of competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold at the Bernabeu next season.

Alexander-Arnold, 26, announced earlier this month that he would indeed be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season , bringing an end to a near season-long saga and confirming the worst-kept secret in football.

The England international is expected to join Real Madrid in the summer, with Los Blancos hopeful of signing him early for the Club World Cup.

And Carvajal has seemingly confirmed the transfer after claiming he's motivated by the heightened battle for a spot in the lineup.
