Trent Alexander-Arnold sent contract message after Liverpool’s Real Madrid destruction

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been sent a contract message following Conor Bradley's impressive display against Real Madrid.

Bradley, Alexander-Arnold's understudy, put in an excellent performance against Kylian Mbappe, who at one point he disposed on the counter-attack by producing a stunning slide tackle. The Reds youngster drew rave reviews from Liverpool supporters, who will now potentially be considering whether or not it would be right for the club to move on from Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold is out of contract in the summer and has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, a move that would see him link up with close friend Jude Bellingham.

And plenty of fans on social media chimed in with their thoughts on the Alexander-Arnold contract drama following Bradley's impressive performance. One fan wrote on X: "Are you watching @TrentAA??"

Another said: "Trent's more likely to leave now coz his spot in the 11 is in danger." A third wrote: "Conor Bradley came out here tonight and told Trent to go to Madrid."

A fourth commented: "Trent said “it means more” and he’s genuinely contemplating trading nights like that at his boyhood club that is clearly on the up in exchange for manufactured success and a few titles."

And a fifth said: "Trent can get the plane with the Madrid team after that Conor Bradley performance.."

Liverpool.com says: "You have to wonder just what Liverpool management will have made of Conor Bradley locking down Kylian Mbappe in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The young Liverpool full-back was playing for Bolton just two years ago and has seen his stock rise enormously in such a short space of time. While he came off injured with a hamstring injury, more performances like that from Bradley could see Liverpool seriously consider whether they let Alexander-Arnold walk should he not be interested in signing a new deal."
