Chelsea are said to be emerging as a possible destination should Alexander-Arnold decide to leave Madrid. The Blues are apparently monitoring the situation and could offer the 28-year-old a route back to English football.

A return to Liverpool has also been discussed, but the report suggests that remains unlikely due to the circumstances surrounding his departure in 2025. In theory, Alexander-Arnold would surely love to return to his boyhood club, but in reality, neither side is particularly keen to revisit that situation despite Liverpool’s need for reinforcements at right-back.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are said to view Alexander-Arnold as the type of high-profile signing capable of strengthening Xabi Alonso’s squad if the opportunity arises.
