Liverpool are not interested in re-signing Trent Alexander-Arnold as it stands, despite the noise around his situation at Real Madrid. Pete O’Rourke, quoted by teamtalk.com, said: "Liverpool are not interested in re-signing Alexander-Arnold as it stands." That lines up with the broader reporting: the club is looking elsewhere rather than turning Madrid frustration into an Anfield return.
Madrid minutes and the Liverpool stance
The backdrop is straightforward enough. Alexander-Arnold has made only 4 La Liga appearances in 2026 and has played just 257 minutes, while he has managed only 79 Champions League minutes this year. He has not played a single minute in Madrid’s last three matches across all competitions.
Some reporting has pushed the selection issue harder, saying he has started only three of the nine La Liga games so far. Other reporting says he has made only three league starts and has been used sparingly in Europe too. Even with that in the background, the line from Liverpool remains the same. They are not pushing to bring him back right now.
Real Madrid are not under pressure to force a sale either. Graeme Bailey, quoted by teamtalk.com, said the club would consider a reasonable offer in the future if the situation does not improve, but their position is not to move him on immediately.
The clean read here is that Liverpool have heard the noise and passed on it. Alexander-Arnold’s Madrid spell is unsettled, but that has not changed the club’s stance, and the story still points away from a reunion.
