Jamie Carragher has firmly confirmed his opinion on Trent Alexander-Arnold's possible return to Liverpool. The former Reds defender, now commentator, has said he wants to bring Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield, claiming the player made a mistake by choosing to move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025.
According to Carragher, Alexander-Arnold's absence has left a void of creativity in the club's defence. “We definitely missed him from a creativity point of view,” he said, highlighting how the English full-back had been a key element in building play for Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold's experience in Spain, however, is not going as planned. He is currently the third option at right back at Real Madrid, with Valverde occupying the position and Denzel Dumfries having been inserted as a starter at the end of the Clasico. Carragher noted that being relegated to third choice indicates the club may want to release him.
The commentator then suggested that the situation could push Alexander‑Arnold to consider a new transfer. “When you are third choice at a club, it clearly means they want you to leave,” Carragher added.
Alexander‑Arnold's future remains uncertain, but the prospect of a return to Liverpool seems more achievable if the player decides to leave Real Madrid. For now, the English club continues to look for solutions to fill the void left by the full-back's departure.
