Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has clarified his future amid speculation about a possible return to Liverpool. The former Liverpool academy talent joined the Spanish giants in the summer of 2025 as a free agent but has yet to secure a regular spot in the starting XI, especially following the arrival of Denzel Dumfries this summer.
Despite his struggles in Spain and Liverpool's issues at right-back, Football Insider reports that Alexander-Arnold intends to snub interest from his former club and prove himself at Real. Former Premier League clubs’ head scout Mick Brown also stated that a return for the defender seems unlikely, given that moving to Madrid was a dream of his.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s hierarchy has shifted their focus to the youth transfer market, preparing to offer up to £40 million for 17-year-old midfielder Hilberto Mora from Mexican side Tijuana. The promising midfielder is also attracting attention from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG.
