Trent Alexander-Arnold has encountered his first ban as soon as he landed at Real Madrid. The English footballer, without being particularly ostentatious when it comes to cars, is very particular about what he drives and also likes large vehicles. However, he already knows that at Real Madrid he will have to adapt to commercial brands, so he will have to drive the car provided by the club.
Brands rule
Real Madrid’s agreement with BMW includes a clause that each player must drive one of the vehicles provided by the company to the Valdebebas training ground. These are non-negotiable conditions that must be met by every player in the squad. The agreement was signed two years ago, in 2022, after the legendary German brand took over from Audi.
Goodbye to Alexander-Arnold’s car
Alexander-Arnold has already encountered his first ban since arriving at Real Madrid. The agreement with BMW prohibits the English international from driving his Land Rover Range Rover, the legendary British car brand, to the Ciudad Deportiva. Arnold has always been very comfortable with cars from his country, but now he will no longer be able to drive around in his Range Rover when he attends team training sessions.
Alexander-Arnold’s new car
As of today, it is unknown which car the English full-back has chosen for his stay in the Spanish capital. For now, the club is in the United States, and it is expected that he will be handed over his new vehicle once he returns from the Club World Cup, so that he can start the new season with it.
Knowing the player’s tastes, everything suggests that he will opt for a large BMW, such as the BMW XM. Another key factor in Trent‘s decision is that he must choose a 100% electric hybrid car, as these are part of the agreement between the German brand and Real Madrid.
What is the Land Rover Range Rover like?
As expected, the Land Rover Range Rover driven by Trent Alexander-Arnold is not the basic model that we see relatively frequently on the roads. We are talking about a variant of the P530 model, with a 4.4 V8 engine that has twin turbochargers and a whopping 530 hp. The vehicle is automatic and can reach 100 kilometers per hour in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour, which is crazy considering we are talking about a car that weighs around 2,500 kilos.
Alexander-Arnold will not be able to drive his new Land Rover Range Rover, but he will not be short of a high-end car to get to the Ciudad de Fútbol de Valdebebas every day. He will have to choose the new BMW he wants to drive to training every day, and he will have his new car ready for when the next season starts.
In the meantime, he will only be able to drive his vehicles when he does not have to attend official Real Madrid events, and he will be able to take his 530-horsepower Land Rover Range Rover P530 for a spin around the Spanish capital.
