Liverpool news: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return route emerges as target’s price tag set

Trent Alexander-Arnold could reportedly secure a return to Liverpool if Real Madrid pursue a move for Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro. Alexander-Arnold has started only three of Madrid's opening eight league games under manager Jose Mourinho, who has favored Denzel Dumfries. Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is reportedly seeking squad reinforcements following a difficult start to the Premier League season.

Liverpool have also learned that Bournemouth are open to a permanent sale of midfielder Alex Scott for a £100m fee. Scott, who previously played 89 games under Iraola at Bournemouth, is also a target for Chelsea and Manchester United. The 23-year-old midfielder is currently sidelined until November with a thigh injury sustained while playing for England.
