Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is not considering a transfer this winter, Spanish newspaper Marca reports. Arnold, 28, has seen his place in Jose Mourinho's team decline since the start of the season and has featured significantly less this season. Arnold has been labeled as the 'biggest casualty' of Federico Valverde's move to play at right-back, having played just 53 minutes in the last five games.
Due to Valverde's position change, Arnold has been moved to third right-back and has only started in four games. It has been reported that several clubs, mainly in England, are considering signing him this winter, but Arnold himself has said he is concentrating on playing for Real Madrid and has no intention of leaving the club. He said the situation could change over the next two months, before the winter market opens.
Currently, Arnold is playing second fiddle at right-back alongside Denzel Dumfries. The decline in the pecking order under Mourinho shows that competition within the team has intensified. This season, Real Madrid are looking for new tactics in the full-back position while maintaining a balance between attack and defense.
Although Arnold's position remains uncertain until the winter transfer window opens, he has demonstrated his loyalty to the club and has made it clear that he intends to continue playing for Real Madrid. The future of his career will be greatly influenced by his opportunities to play in the next games and by the tactical changes made by Mourinho.
