27-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Alexander-Arnold's first season at Real Madrid in 2025/26 was disrupted by injury, limiting him to 21 league games with four assists as he adapted to a new country and system. Even in a reduced campaign, his creative quality showed, and few full-backs in the world match his passing range and set-piece delivery, which is the basis of his fantasy appeal. The questions are fitness, after an interrupted year, and how much attacking license he gets under new manager Jose Mourinho, whose sides can be more conservative. A fit, freed-up Alexander-Arnold is a premium attacking defender capable of double-digit assists. He is a high-upside pick with real risk attached, worth targeting if he stays healthy and Mourinho lets him push forward, but not without the caveats.
Will face increased competition
Alexander-Arnold will face an even bigger fight to hold onto his starting spot at Real Madrid next season after the club agreed a deal to sign Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan, according to the Liverpool Echo.
ANALYSIS
Alexander-Arnold endured a difficult debut campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu, managing no goals from 14 shots and four assists from 40 chances created across 30 appearances in all competitions, and was left out of England's World Cup squad entirely by manager Thomas Tuchel, missing out on the tournament altogether. Dani Carvajal's departure at the end of the season had appeared to open the door for Alexander-Arnold to become Real's undisputed right back, but the club's move for Denzel Dumfries now sets up a fresh battle for the starting role. With Dumfries unlikely to arrive as a backup, Alexander-Arnold will need to rediscover his best form quickly to avoid starting next season on the sidelines both for club and country.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man City showing interest?
Manchester City could show interest in bringing Alexander-Arnold back to the Premier League in the 2026/27 season, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Alexander-Arnold's first season with Real Madrid hasn't gone as expected, and it wouldn't be surprising if he decides to return to the Premier League. Real Madrid aren't expected to let the right-back depart the club after just one season, but if they're open to a move, expect Manchester City to make a push for him. Bayern Munich could also be interested in the former Liverpool start, whereas his former club wouldn't be keen on welcoming him back.
