Trent Alexander-Arnold is currently serving as the third-choice right-back at Real Madrid behind Fede Valverde and Denzel Dumfries, according to Defensa Central.
The English defender is in his second season at the club, but he plays far less often than when he first arrived.
Former Liverpool player Glen Johnson spoke about the situation in an interview with the ticket platform SeatPick, highlighting the defender’s current predicament.
Alexander-Arnold is currently with the England national squad, while speculation regarding his club future continues to grow in Madrid.
Johnson also addressed a potential return to the Premier League for the defender, though he suggested Stamford Bridge as a more likely destination than an Anfield homecoming.
Su intención es tener continuidad y disputar minutos con regularidad,” said Johnson.
“Considero que el Chelsea debería intentar hacerse con sus servicios en enero.”
“Ya hemos podido comprobar lo determinante que puede ser en la Premier League.”
A permanent multi-million-euro transfer appears unlikely given that Alexander-Arnold has seen limited playing time during his two seasons in Madrid, meaning a loan with an option to buy remains a viable alternative.
Real Madrid wants the player to gain regular minutes, and manager José Mourinho retains the final say on squad planning despite favoring Fede Valverde in recent weeks, Defensa Central reported.
