Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be unhappy with how things have unfolded in Spain and is now wishing he had renewed his contract with Liverpool instead of leaving on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
El Nacional reports that the move has been far from smooth: injuries, inconsistent performances, and limited game time have all made his start at Madrid difficult. The transition hasn\u2019t paid off yet, and he\u2019s finding it hard to secure a regular place in the team.<\/p>\n
Liverpool, meanwhile, have felt the absence of his creativity and long-range passing.<\/p>\n
Despite the rough spell, Alexander-Arnold still has the quality to turn things around. Real Madrid remain hopeful he can settle, regain confidence, and eventually become a key figure. The added pressure of trying to earn a spot in England\u2019s World Cup squad has only increased the stakes, and he\u2019ll be eager to find form again in the months ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
