Liverpool are 'favourites' to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold

Former City adviser says Liverpool are favourites to re-sign Alexander-Arnold from Real Madrid, with Bayern Munich and other Premier League clubs also interested.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid has not gone as planned, with the 28-year-old struggling for minutes at the Bernabéu. According to former Manchester City financial adviser Stefan Borson, Liverpool would be front of the queue to bring their former right-back back to Anfield on a permanent deal.

Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool on a free transfer in June 2025 after nine years at the club, but Borson believes he could "re-bond" with the fans if a return materialises. Bayern Munich and several other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, are also rumoured to be interested, though the fee Real Madrid demand could be a deciding factor.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are also pursuing a permanent deal for Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, who is on loan at Anfield this season. The club would need to pay around £47million to secure the Uruguayan's signature.
