Trent Alexander-Arnold moved from Liverpool to Real Madrid in 2025. There was a lot of acrimony within the move, not least from Liverpool fans who felt Alexander-Arnold was betraying the club by moving to one of Liverpool's biggest European rivals.

Since then, however, things have not gone well for Alexander-Arnold. He has been relegated to the bench under three different managers, and has been the subject of continuous criticism from Real Madrid  fans as well as the Spanish media. His career has stagnated, and Jose Mourinho's recent interviews have suggested that he does not plan to play Alexander-Arnold regularly.

Meanwhile, Liverpool FC have struggled to replace Alexander-Arnold's long-distance crosses and creative opportunities. This deficiency has forced out current creative players (e.g. Wirtz and Szoboszlai) to find themselves having to drop into deep positions to create chances, thus limiting their effectiveness and output.

All things considered, there is one option that would be best for all parties involved, and that would be for Liverpool to bring Alexander-Arnold back to the club on a permanent deal.

The betrayal that many Liverpool fans felt from Alexander-Arnold's departure cannot be ignored. Yet, it cannot be ignored that not only do we need his creativity, he needs a second chance at the one club who accepted him for the kind of player that he is. Bringing Alexander-Arnold back wouldn't solely help the current squad. The move would help save the legacy of a modern Liverpool legend, as well as showing young academy players that no matter what happens, there is always a second chance waiting for them.
