Overview
- Saturday reports said Real Madrid would consider offers for Alexander‑Arnold and have set an indicative exit price of about £50m.
- He has struggled for regular play under Mourinho, starting only a handful of matches this season and logging under 400 minutes in competitive games.
- Managerial tactics and new signings have pushed him down the pecking order, with Denzel Dumfries signed this summer and Federico Valverde often used at right‑back.
- Journalists report Liverpool are not actively targeting him 'at this moment', shifting talk from an immediate Anfield return to a possible summer move.
- Pundits say he must show clear, sustained defensive improvement and repair his public image after leaving Liverpool in 2025 for a high‑profile Bernabéu move.
