Trent Alexander-Arnold faces uncertain future at Real Madrid

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s position at Real Madrid has come under scrutiny following his exclusion from the starting lineup during a 4-1 LaLiga victory over Sevilla. Manager Jose Mourinho opted to deploy midfielder Federico Valverde at right-back, leaving both Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries on the bench as unused substitutes.

This marks the third time in five matches that the England international has failed to start. Alexander-Arnold, who joined the Spanish club from Liverpool, has struggled to secure a regular role this season due to injuries and increased competition. The decision to use Valverde in a defensive role has sparked frustration among supporters and raised questions regarding the defender's long-term standing at the club.

As the summer transfer window approaches, speculation suggests a potential return to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester City identified as possible destinations. Liverpool, in particular, may be interested in reclaiming the player to address consistency issues at the right-back position.
