El Nacional reports that should Unai Emery leave Aston Villa to take over at Real Madrid this summer, he plans to offload three key players. The report identifies these players as Antonio Rüdiger, who is out of contract, Arda Güler, a highly rated young talent, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

According to El Nacional, interim coach Álvaro Arbeloa has informed Trent Alexander-Arnold that he is not part of the team's plans. The report claims Arbeloa had what was described as an 'honest conversation' with Alexander-Arnold, telling him that for his own good, he needs to find an exit in the summer market. El Nacional also claims the club believes his continuation makes no sense and that prolonging the situation would only harm the player and the team. The report adds that Real Madrid wants to end the association as soon as possible, and his representatives are reportedly already working on possible destinations to restart his career.

A report from Goal.com states that Trent Alexander-Arnold's future at Real Madrid is uncertain and that he has been told to find a new club, as he is deemed surplus to requirements. He moved to Spain in 2025 after his contract at Liverpool expired.

According to The Telegraph, Trent Alexander-Arnold is discontent with his present situation at Real Madrid and is seeking to leave the Spanish club in the upcoming summer, following this year's World Cup. One of the main reasons cited is that several promises made to the English full-back during negotiations have not been fully kept. Alexander-Arnold has also sustained several injuries during his time at Real Madrid, a factor that has contributed to his desire to seek a new club after this season.
