'Mate or traitor' - Liverpool fans tell Trent Alexander-Arnold to make up his mind amid talk of agreement with Real Madrid

<p>Real Madrid’s interest in Alexander-Arnold is nothing new. The Spanish giants first registered their interest in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/disgust-liverpool-fans-spot-cold-reception-trent-alexander-arnold-return-training-amid-talk-real-madrid-agreement/blt0bfa78359dbd72b2#csc8e537bdab6519ca" target="_blank">England international last year,</a> and in January, they reportedly submitted an offer to secure his services.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In response, some fans have taken matters into their own hands, sending strong messages to the player.
