According to a report by Football Insider, Real Madrid do not intend to sell Trent Alexander-Arnold during the winter transfer window, making Liverpool’s efforts to bring him back in January more difficult. The report says the Spanish club want to keep the player despite speculation about a return to Anfield.
The report says Alexander-Arnold has not established himself as a regular starter since joining Real Madrid in 2025, and that José Mourinho has on several occasions preferred to use Federico Valverde and Denzel Dumfries at right-back. Nevertheless, Mourinho wants to keep him and believes he can play an important role for the team.
The report adds that the player is determined to establish himself in Madrid, and that his recent return to the starting lineup against Racing Santander could help him regain momentum. It remains unclear whether Liverpool will renew their interest in him next summer, but a return in January currently looks unlikely. The report also says Liverpool are looking to strengthen at right-back, with Jeremie Frimpong struggling and Conor Bradley recovering from a serious knee injury.
