Mourinho's Midfield Masterplan for Alexander-Arnold?

Jose Mourinho has reportedly devised an unconventional plan for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid, considering a transition to a midfield role. The Portuguese manager believes Alexander-Arnold possesses the technical ability and game control necessary for this position.

This potential shift arises as new signing Denzel Dumfries has impressed during pre-season, seemingly securing the starting right-back spot. Dumfries is reportedly ahead of Alexander-Arnold in the pecking order, influencing the Englishman's future role.

Alexander-Arnold's integration into the Real Madrid squad has been described as less than ideal since his arrival. His defensive attributes might also be a factor influencing Mourinho's consideration of him in a more advanced midfield capacity.
