Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Real Madrid journey may be heading toward a sudden and painful end.
Just one year after arriving at the Santiago Bernabéu with huge expectations, sensational reports from Spain claim the England star has been told to leave the club for his own good.
According to El Nacional, Real Madrid boss Álvaro Arbeloa held direct, face-to-face talks with Alexander-Arnold that were described as brutal and decisive.
The message was clear. The right-back is not part of Real Madrid’s future plans.
Alexander-Arnold, now 27, has struggled to settle in Spain since making the move from Liverpool. Injuries have played a major role, with the defender missing time again last month due to a leg problem.
Even when fit, sources claim the coaching staff have been unconvinced by his performances.
During the discussions, Arbeloa reportedly made it clear that Alexander-Arnold would not be guaranteed regular game time when he returns from injury.
Behind the scenes, there is a belief that the England international has never fully adapted to life in LaLiga.
Real Madrid coaches are said to be alarmed by how often Alexander-Arnold has been exposed defensively, especially in high-pressure matches.
There are also concerns about his attacking output, which has failed to match the level he regularly produced at Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold has made just 16 appearances for Real Madrid so far, having made his debut at the Club World Cup.
Across those games, he has registered only three assists.
That return has fallen well below expectations at the Bernabéu.
At Liverpool, Alexander-Arnold was a constant attacking threat, famous for his dangerous deliveries, creativity, and ability to change games from right-back.
Real Madrid expected him to bring that same influence to Spain.
Instead, frustration has grown inside the club, and his situation is now said to be at breaking point.
Influential figures behind the scenes are reportedly pushing for Real Madrid to cash in on the defender at the end of the season.
However, any potential transfer comes with major complications.
Real Madrid inserted a staggering £840 million release clause into Alexander-Arnold’s contract, making the true asking price unclear.
His salary is also a major issue.
The defender is believed to earn close to £280,000 per week, a figure that could scare off many interested clubs.
Despite that, Alexander-Arnold’s representatives have already begun exploring possible destinations.
The priority is to reignite a career that once looked unstoppable.
Before leaving Anfield, Alexander-Arnold made 354 appearances for Liverpool.
During that time, he scored 23 goals and delivered an incredible 92 assists.
He also won nine major trophies with the Reds, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
His decision to walk away from Liverpool was seen as a bold step toward greatness at Real Madrid.
Now, just a year later, that dream appears to be slipping away.
Whether Alexander-Arnold finds a new club this summer or fights to stay and prove his worth, one thing is clear.
This is the most uncertain moment of his career.
