Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid stunned Liverpool fans, but another decision could be even harder to take.
The former Liverpool star’s time in Spain hasn’t gone as planned. Injuries have disrupted his start at the Bernabeu, and there are already talks of a possible exit.
According to GIVEMESPORT, Manchester City are considering a move for the 26-year-old. The report claims Pep Guardiola is interested in adding Alexander-Arnold to his squad, and that the player is open to the idea.
Man City reportedly open talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold over summer move
Liverpool fans are still reeling from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid, but the club legend might be set to hurt his former side again.
The England international has struggled to settle in Spain since leaving Anfield, and now reports suggest he could be considering a return to the Premier League.
Trent left Liverpool after two decades at Anfield, seeking a new challenge with the Spanish giants. However, injuries have limited his impact at the Bernabeu, and there are already rumours of an early exit. A fresh report even links him with Manchester City.
That would be a difficult one for Liverpool fans to stomach. According to TEAMtalk, City are assessing Trent as they look for options at right-back heading into next season.
The same article suggests that frustrations in Madrid have led intermediaries to discuss what would be an unexpected move – though even that feels like an understatement.
No formal offer has been made yet, and while Trent is said to still see his future in Spain, the feeling may not be mutual from Real’s side.
If Man City do decide to make a move for Alexander-Arnold this summer it will cost them plenty of money. But they’re one of the few clubs who could afford whatever fee Madrid set.
Talks Between Man City and Trent Alexander-Arnold could be a disaster for Liverpool
This is a transfer link that Liverpool fans won’t want to believe, but there’s now enough evidence to suggest it could be on the cards.
Some supporters already felt his move to Madrid had damaged his legacy, but joining the club’s biggest rival of the last decade would take things to another level entirely.
There are clear reasons why City would be interested. Pep Guardiola has made good use of inverted full-backs in the past, and Alexander-Arnold’s skill set could fit well into that system. Plus, his delivery from wide areas would give Erling Haaland plenty of service.
But for Alexander-Arnold, this move would be nearly impossible for Liverpool fans to forgive.
It’s still early days in these talks. However, if things don’t improve for him in Spain, it wouldn’t be wise to completely dismiss this possibility, no matter how far-fetched it might seem right now.
