Trent Alexander-Arnold

🚨 EXCL: Bayern Munich have identified self-proclaimed future Ballon d’Or winner Trent Alexander-Arnold as their DREAM target for 2027. The German champions are under no illusions about the scale of the challenge, but intend to keep a close watch on Alexander-Arnold’s situation at Real Madrid throughout the season, with his standing under José Mourinho considered crucial to any potential move. Senior figures inside Bayern believe a genuine window of opportunity could open in 2027, if Trent Alexander-Arnold again fails to establish himself as a regular starter, with Real Madrid potentially becoming receptive to a departure under those circumstances. Vincent Kompany is understood to be a major admirer of Alexander-Arnold, with the former England international viewed as an ideal fit at right-back for the aggressive, attack-minded style he wants his Bayern side to play.

🔗 FYI: Harry Kane is also involved in Bayern Munich’s efforts to lure Trent Alexander-Arnold to Bavaria next summer and would welcome the England international at the club, with senior figures in Bayern’s sporting leadership already establishing a back channel with the player and his representatives. However, the decisive factor remains how this season unfolds for Trent, with Bayern closely monitoring whether he can establish himself under José Mourinho at Real Madrid while keeping the lines of communication open.
