Mourinho can use Alexander-Arnold in midfield

Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho is considering moving Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield, reports Cadena SER. The Portuguese specialist considers this decision the optimal step to establish better control over the game in the middle line. The nominal right-back already has the experience of performing in the position of a midfielder during his playing career in Liverpool. It is worth noting that this summer, another right defender, Denzel Dumfries, strengthened the "cream" squad. The first official match of the 2026/27 season will be played by Real Madrid on Saturday, August 22, away against Espanyol.
