Real Madrid was able to sign Alexander-Arnold early, thanks to the club's willingness to pay Liverpool a transfer fee and the early FIFA transfer window. This allowed the player to join the team three weeks ahead of schedule.
Alexander-Arnold is expected to make his debut soon, as Real Madrid prepares to start their Club World Cup campaign against Al Hilal on Wednesday.
The airport's comment was a humorous way to poke fun at the situation, but it did not affect the player's transfer or his upcoming debut.
