Manchester City have held talks with intermediaries about a potential summer move for Trent Alexander-Arnold amid his Real Madrid uncertainties.
According to Team Talk, Manchester City could look at the possibility of landing Trent Alexander-Arnold next summer. The Premier League giants have held talks with intermediaries about the idea of bringing the England international back amid his uncertainties at Real Madrid.
Injury issues often led to speculation in the media, as there are significant doubts cast at the player for his lack of involvement and availability. Such is the likely case with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is yet to get his act together at Real Madrid since his summer move.
Injuries and a dip in form have contributed to Alexander-Arnold’s absence, with the player struggling to adapt to new surroundings as things stand. His prolonged absence has led to speculation surrounding his future at the Bernabeu, with suggestions in the media stating that Real Madrid could even consider selling.
The Premier League is the obvious destination should Alexander-Arnold depart the Bernabeu, with Chelsea one of those interested of late. However, it is Manchester City who are showing concrete interest as per the report, as they plot a right-back signing next summer.
Pep Guardiola has been using Matheus Nunes as his right back this season and for most parts in the previous campaign. A new right back is on the agenda for the summer, with the report stating that Manchester City have held talks with intermediaries connected with Alexander-Arnold over a potential move for the 27-year-old Real Madrid wide man.
Will Real Madrid sell Alexander-Arnold?
Often, the media speculation is the polar opposite of what the club and the player think in the background. In Real Madrid’s case, they are utterly unfortunate to see Alexander-Arnold suffer from his persistent injury issues, while the right-back is eager to prove his worth by getting back fit and fight for his place.
However, should Manchester City make a solid offer to test the resolve of the Spanish giants, there’s every possibility of the 27-year-old Real Madrid wide man leaving the Bernabeu. It remains to be seen whether these links are part of the media speculation or whether Guardiola is seriously considering bringing the England international back to the Premier League.
