What's happening? Rumors are swirling that Trent Alexander-Arnold is unhappy and considering leaving Real Madrid to return to the Premier League.
On 17 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Graham Telegraph reported that Trent Alexander-Arnold, England's national team defender at Real Madrid, is facing dissatisfaction with his situation at Santiago Bernabéu and has begun seriously considering his future career.
Sources say the main cause is several promises the club made that have yet to materialize, leading Trent to feel that his role and importance within the team remain unclear. For players at the "Los Blancos" club, everyone desires trust and recognition as a key team member.
Because of this, Trent is not ruling out leaving Real Madrid if a suitable offer comes, especially from Premier League clubs he knows well in terms of intensity, style of play, and environment, which continue to show interest in him.
Trent Alexander-Arnold transferred from Liverpool to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025 and has a contract with the club until 2031. In the current season, he has appeared in 11 matches across all competitions and recorded 1 assist.
