Trent Alexander-Arnold has officially been allocated the No.12 shirt by Real Madrid for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup and possibly for the rest of the season.
This move comes as the English international bids farewell to the iconic No.66 jersey he sported throughout his career at Liverpool.
Due to LaLiga regulations, which mandate that players choose numbers ranging from one to 25, Alexander-Arnold had to select a new number following his transfer.
Real Madrid, commonly known as Los Blancos, have unveiled their updated squad list along with the corresponding official shirt numbers ahead of the global tournament.
Historically, the No.12 shirt at the Santiago Bernabéu has held prestige, notably worn by club legend Marcelo, and most recently by Eduardo Camavinga.
Alexander-Arnold had worn the No.66 jersey since his development years at Liverpool’s youth academy until his recent departure.
Interestingly, his new number might reflect a personal touch—adding six and six to total twelve—though it remains subject to change during the pre-season period.
