Trent Alexander-Arnold’s arrival at Real Madrid was hailed as one of the marquee signings of the transfer window, a move that was expected to solidify Los Blancos’ right flank for years to come. However, just four months into his stint in the Spanish capital, things have not gone according to plan.
The English full-back has struggled to adapt to Real Madrid’s tactical demands and fierce internal competition, particularly with veteran Dani Carvajal still performing at a high level. Frustration has begun to mount, especially after a recent injury setback that has further limited his opportunities for consistent playing time.

Sources close to the player suggest that Alexander-Arnold is already contemplating a swift return to Liverpool, where he enjoyed a flourishing career and a playing style that perfectly complemented his dynamic, attacking strengths. With Arne Slot now at the helm at Anfield, Trent reportedly believes he can rediscover his best form and once again thrive in an environment that suits him.
Such a development would be a significant blow to Real Madrid’s new project under Xabi Alonso. The club’s leadership had placed considerable faith in Trent’s ability to quickly integrate and become a pillar in the team’s long-term strategy. However, the player’s growing dissatisfaction, coupled with Liverpool’s openness to a reunion, has drastically increased the chances of a potential move in the upcoming transfer window.
Will Real Madrid manage to convince Alexander-Arnold to stay and fight for his place, or is a Premier League homecoming now inevitable? The next few weeks could be decisive.
