Reports from Spain indicate that Trent Alexander-Arnold may struggle to reclaim a regular spot in Real Madrid’s starting lineup, particularly with Dani Carvajal now performing strongly.
This marks a surprising development in his story, especially considering the high regard Real Madrid had for Trent and the effort they put into signing him from Liverpool.
Adding more intrigue to the situation, Manchester City are reportedly monitoring events closely. The club has shown interest in Trent before—once during the summer when he was a free agent, and even earlier during his youth days at Liverpool.
Should Trent find himself sidelined, City may consider a bold move to sign him in the January transfer window.
Could a Premier League return be on the cards for Alexander-Arnold?
The speculation comes just a short time into his Madrid career—he’s only featured in seven matches under Xabi Alonso so far.
At Liverpool, he was a vital part of the squad, and his decision to let his contract run down before leaving at the end of last season came as a huge blow to fans.
Now, the idea of him potentially joining their Premier League rivals would only add to that heartbreak.
For Pep Guardiola, Trent could be viewed as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker, making this situation one worth watching closely if his role at Madrid doesn’t improve soon.
Breaking into the first team at the Bernabéu is no easy task—many top players have found it difficult to secure consistent game time.
Keep an eye on this story, as Trent’s time in Spain might not last as long as expected.
