Madrid have forked out around £10million to get him slightly before the end of his contract, which was June 30.
This is so he can play at the Club World Cup in America and he has been included in their squad for the tournament.
Fans will also notice something different about the back of his new Madrid shirt.
Instead of Alexander-Arnold on the back, he will have just 'Trent'.

He has also been forced to pick a new shirt number as players in Spain are not allowed to wear the number 66.
That is because players in the first team squad can only have between 1-25 on their back, while 26-50 is for academy players.
The England full-back will wear the number 12, which can also be seen as 6+6.
It was also the number worn by Madrid legend Marcelo during his illustrious career at the Bernabeu.
He follows fellow Premier League star Dean Huijsen at the Spanish giants and both could make their debut at the Club World Cup.
For Alexander-Arnold, it was a tough decision leaving Merseyside for the Spanish capital.

Announcing his decision to leave, he said: "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.
"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.
"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."
