Kyle Walker names two Premier League clubs Real Madrid defender could join: ‘Can he go to Liverpool?’ Real Madrid are flying high after an impressive 2-1 win over arch-rivals Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou. However, one player who is not having a great time at the Spanish club is Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose future looks bleak. Los Blancos ‘ right-back situation has become increasingly complicated for the English full-back, who arrived from Liverpool in 2025. So far, Jose Mourinho has shown a clear preference for other options, including makeshift right-back Federico Valverde. Speaking to talkSPORT, as quoted by Defensa Central , former Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has now discussed the possibility of Alexander-Arnold returning to the Premier League. Walker names Manchester United and Manchester City as possible destinations Trent has struggled for regular opportunities this season, making just seven appearances, including four starts, and playing 345 minutes. Sunday’s Clasico offered another example. Valverde started against Barcelona, while Denzel Dumfries replaced him during the second half. Trent has lost prominence at Real Madrid.

Discussing the possibility of a return to Liverpool, Walker said: “Can he go back to Liverpool with the way that he left? I’m not too sure.” Walker identified Manchester United and Manchester City as possible destinations should Trent decide to leave Madrid. Real Madrid face an important decision over Alexander-Arnold Alexander-Arnold has no intention of leav i ng Madrid in January and remains determined to convince Mourinho that he deserves more opportunities. That determination is understandable. The defender still possesses exceptional passing range and creativity, qualities that could offer Madrid a different attacking dimension. Against teams in La Liga that tend to sit in a low block, having someone with Trent’s creativity could provide another weapon for Mourinho. However, the Portuguese manager has always prioritised defensive reliability and collective balance over individual brilliance. Valverde’s energy and Dumfries’ physical presence provide Jose with just that, whereas Trent leaves a lot to be desired defensively. What does the future hold for Trent?.

Selling him back to a Premier League club at this stage of his career might allow Real Madrid to get a decent transfer fee for him. However, losing faith in him after just 18 months might not be a very good solution either. This is a very important decision for Los Blancos to make. Trent is unlikely to agree to a situation in which he does not play in big games, and it remains to be seen how his future plays out.
