Reports emerged last night from Madrid suggesting that Trent Alexander-Arnold was dissatisfied at Real Madrid and potentially considering an exit after a rocky start in Spain.
Further information indicated that Real Madrid’s coach Alvaro Arbeloa had a conversation with Alexander-Arnold, during which he mentioned that the right-back did not fit into his plans due to concerns over his contributions both offensively and defensively.

Just seven months into his tenure at Real Madrid, it seemed Trent’s future with the club might be coming to an unexpected conclusion.
Denial of Rumors
However, as per a recent update from Diario AS, these reports are far from the truth, and Trent is not contemplating leaving the club.
Arbeloa has expressed complete trust in the defender, who is close to a full recovery from his injury. The coach is eager for Trent’s return to integrate him back into the starting lineup and unlock his potential.

In contrast to the rumors, the recent meeting between the player and the manager reflected the coach’s full confidence in the right-back, while Trent updated him on his recovery progress.
Despite speculation linking him to a move back to the Premier League, his position remains unchanged, and he is not considering leaving the club.
Real Madrid continues to view him as one of the top full-backs in the world and includes him in their long-term strategy.
Throughout this season, ongoing injuries have hindered the young player’s chances to solidify a regular spot in the team, preventing him from making the most of even Dani Carvajal’s injury absence. The hope is that he can maintain his fitness and make significant contributions in the latter part of the season.
