Man City hold talks over shock Trent Alexander-Arnold move amid Real Madrid ‘frustrations’

By Akpo Esco

Manchester City are actively keeping tabs on Trent Alexander-Arnold as uncertainty continues to grow over his future at Real Madrid, TEAMtalk understands, though a move for him would be expensive.

Sources indicate that Alexander-Arnold remains determined to fight for his place at the Santiago Bernabeu, but there is frustration behind the scenes over how his debut season in Spain has unfolded.

The England international has struggled to make the impact he and the club envisaged, following his high-profile arrival from Liverpool.

Alexander-Arnold, 27, has only started five games in La Liga, and continued speculation about his future has sparked interest from elsewhere.

Intermediaries have begun doing their due diligence and, we can confirm, have held talks with Man City, who are in the market for a new right-back ahead of the summer window.
