Liverpool explores return of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid

Liverpool FC is reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield, potentially as early as 2027. The English international, who moved to Real Madrid in June 2025, is facing increased competition for the right-back position.

At Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold has struggled to secure a consistent starting role under manager José Mourinho, who has favored Denzel Dumfries for major matches. Reports indicate that Alexander-Arnold has only started twice in recent La Liga fixtures and has even been deployed in midfield during matches, such as against Inter Milan.

While Alexander-Arnold is under contract with Real Madrid until 2031, his lack of regular playing time and the emergence of Dumfries as a preferred option may create an opening for a transfer. Liverpool is monitoring the situation to address potential depth issues at right-back, though a return would require significant negotiations due to his long-term contract in Spain.
