Premier League
Trent-Alexander Arnold finds himself back in the spotlight after an unexpected move from England. The English full-back, currently at Real Madrid, is one of the names that the new coach of Chelsea has put forward to strengthen his immediate project.
The arrival of Liam Rosenior at the helm of Stamford Bridge has activated a new sports roadmap. The coach considers it essential to reinforce the right-back position with an experienced, offensive, and leadership profile, and Trent-Alexander Arnold fits perfectly into that idea.
London does not hide that the priority is to incorporate differential talent immediately. That is why the name of the English international has started to gain strength in the club's offices.
Trent-Alexander Arnold, Chelsea's top target
Chelsea's initial intention is clear. Rosenior has requested a loan until the end of the season with some kind of buy option afterward. A common formula at Stamford Bridge, but one that does not entirely convince Real Madrid.
At the white club, they see Trent-Alexander Arnold as a strategic asset. Not only for his footballing level but also for his media impact and market value. That is why the stance is firm: they will only negotiate in the case of a direct sale.
Valdebebas reveals a clear figure. Any deal for Trent-Alexander Arnold should exceed 40 million euros. Below that threshold, Madrid doesn't even consider formal discussions.
Real Madrid's position on a possible exit
Real Madrid is not in a rush to part ways with the player. The coaching staff counts on Trent-Alexander Arnold and values his ability to provide offensive depth, precision in passing, and leadership in high-level matches.
Besides, the market has just begun, and the club believes his value could even increase if the player maintains consistency and prominence in the coming weeks. Therefore, the option of a loan is practically ruled out.
In Chamartín, they believe that accepting a loan with a buy option would weaken their negotiating position. The strategy is to stand firm and wait for more ambitious moves from England.

Liam Rosenior insists on his signing
Despite the initial refusal, Liam Rosenior doesn't give up. The coach believes that Trent-Alexander Arnold could be a key piece in changing Chelsea's dynamics in the second half of the season.
London does not rule out taking a step further. Sources close to the club suggest that Chelsea could prepare a multimillion offer to try to convince Real Madrid, assuming that the deal must be finalized as a permanent transfer. Chelsea has financial leeway and is willing to invest heavily if they believe the player can make an immediate difference in the Premier League.
A market that promises tension until the end
Trent-Alexander Arnold's future remains uncertain. Real Madrid is not in a hurry but also doesn't rule out a sale if the proposal meets the player's status.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is applying pressure, Rosenior persists, and the market has just begun. It seems that this tug-of-war between Madrid and London will be one of the main media focuses in the coming weeks.
