Fabrizio Romano has addressed speculation about Trent Alexander-Arnold returning to Liverpool, stating that the club has not held talks about bringing him back. Romano clarified that neither Alexander-Arnold nor Real Madrid is planning a January separation. Alexander-Arnold has struggled to reproduce his influence at Liverpool since moving to Real Madrid. He has faced injury problems and competition from other players.
Romano directly addressed the speculation on his YouTube channel, stating that links between Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool are "completely out of mark" as Liverpool has not started any serious conversation to bring him back. He also said that Alexander-Arnold is not planning to leave Real Madrid in January. Both Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid plan to continue together until the end of the season and potentially long-term.

A return to Liverpool would need to make tactical and financial sense, and unless Alexander-Arnold's playing time remains limited, talk of a comeback appears speculative.
