Real Madrid defender not considering exit despite interest from several Premier League clubs

Real Madrid defender not considering exit despite interest from several Premier League clubs Trent Alexander-Arnold is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs ahead of the winter transfer window, but the Real Madrid defender is not currently considering an exit from the Spanish giants. Indeed, according to a report from MARCA , the 28-year-old remains committed to his future at the Santiago Bernabeu despite struggling for playing time under Jose Mourinho. Fede Valverde’s tactical shift leaves Trent on the sidelines Trent has made just four starts this season and has become one of the biggest casualties of Mourinho’s decision to deploy Federico Valverde at right-back. The former Liverpool star has managed only 53 minutes across Real Madrid’s last five matches, raising fresh questions about his long-term prospects in the Spanish capital. Trent’s limited involvement was particularly evident in El Clasico , where he came on for Arda Guler in the 94th minute. Third choice right-back at Real Madrid.

Trent’s ongoing difficulties this term follow an injury-disrupted first season in Spain. Three muscular injuries, including two serious setbacks, restricted him to just 30 appearances during what was also a turbulent campaign for the club. His loss of momentum also contributed to him missing England’s 2026 World Cup campaign. The arrival of Dumfries from Inter for €20 million last summer further complicated matters, with even Valverde now moving ahead of him in the manager’s pecking order.

In fact, as reported earlier today , his former club Liverpool have sounded out his camp about a potential loan move back to Anfield. Despite that interest, the defender is not currently looking to leave Real Madrid. His immediate intention remains to establish himself at the Bernabeu, although the next two months could prove important in determining whether his position changes.
