Newly signed Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold faces an unexpected adjustment off the pitch: he must part ways with his cherished £130,000 Range Rover due to the club's sponsorship agreement with BMW. Under this deal, all first-team players are provided with a BMW vehicle each season and are required to use them for official duties, including training sessions.

Alexander-Arnold, who recently inked a six-year contract with the Spanish giants, is now considering alternatives within the BMW lineup. Options like the spacious BMW X7 or the sportier X5 are among the popular choices among teammates, including stars like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, who have opted for the high-end BMW XM

The English right-back's move to Madrid, secured for a fee between €6.2 million and €10 million, allows him to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, where he could debut against Al-Hilal on June 18 . Until then, Alexander-Arnold remains with the England national team, preparing for friendly matches against Andorra and Senegal under coach Thomas Tuchel

While adapting to life in Madrid, Alexander-Arnold's transition from his familiar Range Rover to a BMW marks the beginning of his integration into the club's culture and expectations.
