Un peu plus d’un an après son départ pour le Real Madrid, Trent Alexander-Arnold pourrait déjà retrouver Liverpool. Indeed, according to the latest information from the Cadena SERthe English club is currently inquiring into the situation of its former right-back and is studying the possibility of a loan from the winter transfer window. Recruited in the summer of 2025 for around 10 million euros, in order to participate in the Club World Cup, the England international has since gone through a complicated Madrid experience, far from the status he occupied at Anfield.
This season, the 28-year-old defender, under contract until June 2031, is still struggling to establish himself in José Mourinho’s hierarchy. Since his return to the Spanish capital, the Portuguese technician has favored Federico Valverde as right back, while Denzel Dumfries is another option. At the same time, Real Madrid would wonder about the consequences of a possible departure of the Englishman, in particular because of his proximity to Jude Bellingham. The player’s salary, estimated at 16.7 million euros gross annually, would also represent an obstacle in the discussions.
A desired return to Anfield
On the Liverpool side, a return would, on the other hand, address a lack of creativity on the right flank since his departure. Current solutions, notably Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, have not completely convinced, while Ronald Araujo is regularly used in this position. Several former Reds players, including Jamie Carragher, have already shown themselves favorable to the idea of finding Alexander-Arnold in the Liverpool jersey.
The supporters also seem ready to open the door for him again. According to a survey by 47% of participants want its return, while 24% would be in favor provided that its price remains reasonable. Only 29% have not forgiven him for his departure to Madrid. If opinions remain divided, almost three quarters of voters are therefore open to feedback. It remains to be seen whether this track will really gain momentum in the coming weeks…
