Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Real Madrid has reached a critical point just halfway through his first season, with the club’s efforts to strengthen the right wing becoming a major source of concern both on and off the pitch.
His performances have been disappointing, and his impact has been negative, as he has struggled to adapt to the team’s pace and tactical demands. His appearances have been infrequent, and even when he has played, he has made little real contribution. Adding to this is his long history of injuries, which has resulted in longer recovery periods than playing time, leading to the word “failure” circulating among the players and coaching staff.

Alexander-Arnold has at times disrupted the team, and his defensive weaknesses and inconsistency have raised doubts among his teammates. The coaching staff no longer have confidence in him.
In this context, team captains Dani Carvajal and Thibaut Courtois have taken the initiative to clarify the situation, emphasizing that keeping the player will only lead to tensions and that the best solution for all parties is to end this unsuccessful period during the summer transfer window.
The Decision to Leave
The sporting management has already begun exploring options to facilitate his departure, whether through a loan or a permanent transfer, while minimizing losses as much as possible, especially since his high salary limits the club’s ability to make new signings.
The prevailing feeling at the club is that the gamble has not paid off, and that keeping Alexander-Arnold would be an even bigger mistake. Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, it seems that July will mark the end of this short and disappointing spell for the English winger at the Bernabéu.
