If Alexander-Arnold loses his place at Real Madrid, Manchester City will make an offer in January
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s start at Real Madrid may not be as smooth as expected. Signed on a free transfer from Liverpool this summer, the English full-back could face stiff competition from Dani Carvajal, whose return to form has complicated the battle for a starting role.
City monitoring the situation closely
According to CaughtOffside, Manchester City are carefully monitoring Alexander-Arnold’s situation at the Bernabéu. The Premier League champions have long admired the defender and reportedly made contact with him on two previous occasions.
If the 25-year-old continues to struggle for minutes, City are prepared to present a major offer in the January transfer window to lure him back to England.
Competition with Carvajal and Xabi Alonso’s choice
The final decision rests with Xabi Alonso, who has two top players for the right-back role. While Alexander-Arnold has already featured in seven matches since arriving in Spain, Carvajal’s strong form makes the hierarchy uncertain.
This forces the Englishman to prove himself quickly, especially with City watching closely.
From Liverpool exit to potential Premier League return
Alexander-Arnold shocked the football world when he decided not to renew with Liverpool, instead signing with Real Madrid at the end of his contract. His move was seen as a coup for the Spanish giants.
However, if he were to leave the club after only a few months, and join Liverpool’s domestic rival Manchester City, it would be one of the biggest transfer bombshells of the season.
