Trent Alexander-Arnold could reportedly be heading back to the Premier League, with four English clubs said to be monitoring his situation at Real Madrid.
The England international left his boyhood club, Liverpool, in the summer of 2025 to begin a new chapter at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, his time in Spain has reportedly not gone as smoothly as expected, with injuries and limited playing opportunities affecting his progress.
The 28-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under José Mourinho. He was once again left on the bench during Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Sevilla, with Federico Valverde preferred at right-back.
Alexander-Arnold has started just three of Real Madrid’s first nine La Liga matches this season, raising questions about his long-term future at the club.
According to reports from TEAMtalk, the defender is becoming frustrated with his lack of minutes and is considering his future, despite being happy in the Spanish capital.
Four Premier League clubs are reportedly keeping an eye on the situation: Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea. A major German club is also said to be monitoring developments.
A return to Anfield would be particularly eye-catching, considering Alexander-Arnold spent years at Liverpool and won major honours, including the Premier League and Champions League, before leaving for Spain.
Real Madrid are not reportedly forcing him out, but they could consider a reasonable offer if one arrives. The defender remains under contract until 2031.
