Trent Alexander-Arnold linked to Premier League return amid Real Madrid struggles

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the subject of intense transfer speculation following a difficult period at Real Madrid. Reports indicate that several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, are monitoring the 27-year-old defender. Arsenal is specifically interested in the right-back to bolster their defense due to injury concerns involving Ben White and Jurrien Timber.

Alexander-Arnold, who moved from Liverpool to Real Madrid in 2025, has reportedly struggled to secure a regular starting position under manager Jose Mourinho, particularly following the arrival of Denzel Dumfries. While his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu runs until 2031, potential transfer fees are estimated to be between 70 and 80 million euros.

Speculation also includes a potential return to Liverpool. While some analysts suggest a comeback could benefit the Reds' defensive depth, others note that the manner of his previous departure and the club's decision to move on make such a return unlikely. Meanwhile, Liverpool continues to evaluate its squad, including the performance of Ronald Araujo and striker Alexander Isak under new manager Andoni Iraola.
