Real Madrid is prepared to part ways with Trent Alexander-Arnold if the right offer comes in. The 25-year-old defender moved away from Liverpool two years ago, biding his time until the end of his contract while quietly picking up the Spanish language.
Once a player with aspirations to clinch the prestigious Ballon d'Or, Alexander-Arnold now finds himself a world away from that dream. His first season in Madrid was disappointing, followed by a shocking second season. With the summer signing of Denzel Dumfries, manager Jose Mourinho is seemingly reluctant to trust either of his right-back options, leading to Federico Valverde, a midfielder, stepping into the role more often than not.
Having found himself on the bench for the last three matches, Alexander-Arnold is seriously contemplating his future. Real Madrid is inclined to cash in on the out-of-favour defender, especially considering his initial transfer fee was a mere €10 million. Premier League giants Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City are all closely monitoring the situation.
Journalist Pete O'Rourke has revealed that Andoni Iraola's club does not plan to bring the Englishman back to Anfield.
"Trent Alexander-Arnold is not currently a target for Liverpool, despite their struggles at right-back. Liverpool have shown no interest in resigning the talented full-back at this time."
The Merseysiders are facing a significant challenge in that position. Jeremy Frimpong has struggled for consistency, while Connor Bradley is out injured. Currently, Ronald Araujo, who is on loan, is filling the gap, but the club is focused on finding a long-term solution without including Trent in their plans.
