Liverpool need Trent Alexander-Arnold, Trent needs Liverpool. This has been the theme song over the past year after the right-back clearly cannot perform at the same level at Real, while Liverpool are far from adding what the team lost with Alexander-Arnold’s exit before the World Cup. There are rumours on the ball island that Liverpool are considering bringing the former academy player back, but now there are reports that the Premier League is calling strongly for the 28-year-old, but not based at Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold is with Jose Mourinho most often “tied to the bench”, Mourinho has even chosen Federico Valverde – a box-to-box midfielder – as a right-back instead of Alexander-Arnold lately. It is a situation that has led both Real Madrid and the player to consider change.
