Manchester United will reportedly look to sign 27-year-old English international Trent Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Trent Alexander-Arnold is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a right-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 27-year-old Real Madrid full-back has emerged as a target for them.
The latest report has revealed that the Premier League giants are in pole position to sign the former Liverpool vice-captain in a controversial deal in the summer transfer window. Manchester United will hope to secure the Englishman’s services by submitting a bid worth around €50 million to Real Madrid.
How has Trent Alexander-Arnold fared at Real Madrid?
Trent Alexander-Arnold has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Real Madrid from Liverpool last summer. The 27-year-old arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu amid hype and fanfare surrounding him after his exceptional spell with the Merseyside club. However, fitness issues have plagued the former Liverpool vice-captain in the 2025/26 season.
The English international has managed only 661 minutes of game time across 14 appearances in all competitions thus far in the 2025/26 season, chipping in with two assists. However, Alexander-Arnold’s stock remains high, with Manchester United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Trent Alexander-Arnold is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window, as they want a top-class right-back to complete their squad evolution. Diogo Dalot has been inconsistent throughout his spell with Manchester United, while Noussair Mazraoui has become a backup option.
Several candidates, including Julian Ryerson, have thus emerged on Manchester United’s wishlist, with Alexander-Arnold also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that the Red Devils are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the 27-year-old Englishman by submitting a bid worth €50 million.
The update has also suggested that the Premier League giants are the front-runners to sign Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid. However, these suggestions seem too good to be true, considering the English full-back’s allegiance to Liverpool. Additionally, recent reports have claimed that he is committed to Real Madrid. So, a move to Manchester United may not be on the cards.
