Liverpool told how Anfield would ‘react’ if Trent Alexander-Arnold rejoins from Real Madrid

· Football365

Liverpool have been contacted over a potential deal for Real Madrid and England international right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has warned Liverpool against bringing Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield from Real Madrid.

Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Madrid in the summer of 2025.

The England international right-back turned down multiple offers of a new contract from Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold already had a deal in place with Real Madrid to move to Estadio Bernabeu on a free transfer.

Madrid eventually decided to pay Liverpool £8.5million for the right-back so that they could get him out of his contract early and play him at the 2025 Club World Cup.

Alexander-Arnold had injury issues last season and failed to make a huge impact for Madrid in his debut campaign for the Spanish giants.

The former Liverpool star is facing competition from Denzel Dumfries for a place in Madrid manager Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up this season.

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are among the clubs that have been contacted by intermediaries over a potential deal for Alexander-Arnold.

The report has added that Liverpool ‘do have potential interest in Alexander-Arnold and have remained attentive to his situation since he left the UK’.

Jeremie Frimpong, Ronaldo Araujo and Conor Bradley are the three right-back options for Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola when they are fit and available.

Liverpool warned against re-signing Trent Alexander-Arnold

Former Man Utd chief scout Brown believes that Liverpool fans will not like it if the club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), decide to bring Alexander-Arnold back to the club.

Brown told Football Insider: “It would be a huge surprise if Liverpool looked to bring Alexander-Arnold back.

> “I’m led to believe things haven’t quite worked out for him at Real Madrid so far, but he made his bed and now he has to lay in it, I don’t think he’ll be looking to leave already. > > “From a Liverpool point of view, I just don’t see any world where they look to bring him back so soon after he left. > > “Obviously there’s the sentimental side of things, he’s a Liverpool boy, I’m sure he’s still got love for the club, but I’m not convinced the fans will have the same optimistic view. > > “They were angry when he decided to leave, and wouldn’t react well if he was looking to come back already, so the club could decide against a move because of that backlash. > > “Even without that, though, is Alexander-Arnold the answer to Liverpool’s prayers at the moment? I don’t think so. I expect they’ll be looking at other targets instead.”
