Besides Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are also monitoring his status. Bayern Munich, now led by Vincent Kompany, is said to be evaluating the English star for his versatility. Real Madrid has not forced a departure but would consider a reasonable offer if his situation does not improve.

Recent tactical decisions deepen uncertainty

During a match against Sevilla, Real Madrid opted to field Federico Valverde at right‑back, a position normally occupied by alexander arnold. The move forced Arda Güler to drop deeper and saw Endrick introduced into the attacking line‑up, raising further questions about where the English international fits into the coach’s plans.

Implications for England and future prospects

The scarcity of minutes has also cost alexander arnold a place in England’s World Cup squad, leaving his international future in doubt. While he remains content at the club, his priority is to secure regular football. With several major clubs tracking his progress, the coming weeks could determine whether he stays at the Bernabéu or returns to the Premier League.
