According to Diario Sport, Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to lose his right-back position to Dani Carvajal in the coming weeks.
The former Liverpool player started in the Real Madrid 1-0 Osasuna squad, opening the new La Liga season 2025/26, but did not create the expected impact. In the 68th minute, he was withdrawn by Xabi Alonso, who brought Dani Carvajal into the field to play with more enthusiasm, inspiring the team more.
MB assessed that “ the right-back position at Real Madrid has never been as fiercely competitive as it is now ”. Dani Carvajal, who has held this position at Bernabeu for nearly a decade, is an irreplaceable name, now with a young Trent Alexander-Arnold coming to compete.
Trent Alexander-Arnold started five of Real Madrid's six games at the FIFA Club World Cup (only missing the semi-final against PSG due to injury), but Dani Carvajal returned from a serious injury last season (October 2025).
Coach Xabi Alonso said that Dani Carvajal has been training very hard and is getting closer to regaining his original form. The Real Madrid captain pointed out that Jude Bellingham's close friend - Trent Alexander-Arnold will have to compete with the experienced pillar for the starting position.
“ I have two players in the squad and right-back is one of them, with two great players in Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold. That would be great to improve the quality of the squad . Real Madrid will play a lot of games and the team needs to be at their best .”
According to MB, Trent Alexander-Arnold received a warning from President Florentino Perez: " Either you perform well, or Dani Carvajal will still be the starting player."
That message also requires Dani Carvajal to be highly determined if he still wants to keep his position, like before he suffered a long injury and just returned.
Xabi Alonso will have to choose between Carvajal's experience and Alexander Arnold's creativity, when the problem is not only in individual talent, but also in the balance in Real Madrid's squad. The wrong decision can cause trouble for the Vultures.
Real Madrid's next match is away at Oviedo, round 2 of La Liga, at 2:30 a.m. on August 25.
