According to Liverpool Echo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who currently plays for Liverpool, is one of the star investors in F1 team Alpine. Now that the three-year lock-in period for his equity has ended, the investment consortium can sell its shares, and Alexander-Arnold is expected to make a substantial profit from his investment.

In 2023, the Otro Capital consortium invested £173.2 million to acquire a 24% stake in Alpine. Alexander-Arnold participated in the investment alongside his brother Tyler. The same consortium also included numerous sports celebrities such as golfer Rory McIlroy, boxer Anthony Joshua, former Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata, and NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. The initial transaction included a three-year lock-in period, during which shares could not be freely transferred. This restriction has now officially ended.

F1's commercial value has surged, and the consortium hopes this investment will multiply its returns. They have begun negotiations with several potential buyers. The consortium is reportedly asking £606.3 million for the 24% stake. After Mercedes evaluated the offer in May, they deemed the price too high and withdrew from negotiations. A consortium linked to former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has expressed interest in the shares. Of course, whether a deal can be concluded at the expected price remains uncertain, and the transaction also requires approval from Renault.

Alexander-Arnold himself is an F1 enthusiast and recently attended the Spanish Grand Prix. When he first acquired the shares, he stated that he enjoys the high-pressure competitive atmosphere in the F1 paddock and hopes to help Alpine develop by bringing his understanding of teamwork as an athlete.
