Trent Alexander-Arnold must follow a strict car related-rule at Real Madrid if he signs for the Spanish giants after announcing his Liverpool exit.
Alexander-Arnold is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season when his contract expires.
His 20-year association with the Anfield outfit will come to an end this summer, having graduated from the club's youth academy.
He has made 352 appearances for Liverpool, winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League, among other trophies.

Speaking in a video shared on social media, the 26-year-old said: "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."
Alexander-Arnold has yet to disclose the next move of his career but a transfer to Real appears to be on the cards.
The La Liga side have held a long-standing interest in the player and hope to secure his signing on a free transfer this summer.
If Alexander-Arnold completes a move to Real, then he will have to follow a strict car rule that the likes of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe abide by.
Real have a sponsorship partnership with BMW, who were confirmed as the club's official car supplier in 2022 after they ended its 20-year partnership with Audi.
As part of the sponsorship deal, Real and BMW 'jointly pursue initiatives in the domains of future mobility, sustainability and diversity'.
Part of the deal also sees players and coaches of the men's and women's football teams not to mention the club's basketball squad gifted BMW cars.
It is expected that squad members drive to and from the club's training base in their BMW cars, as well as to and from matches and other 'club-related activities'.
