‘I’d hate to be Liverpool right now’, say fans after seeing what Bellingham did for Alexander-Arnold on England duty
ENGLAND superstar Jude Bellingham organised a surprise birthday present for team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
And Liverpool fans are worried Bellingham, 21, is trying to lure Alexander-Arnold – now 26 – to join him at Real.
TAA has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu the last few months, with his Anfield contract running out in June.
The two stars – who are close pals and holidayed together in the summer – are now on international duty with England ahead of the Nations League clashes with Greece and Finland and reunited at St George’s Park.
And Bellingham decided to commemorate Alexander-Arnold’s 26th birthday with a giant card that showed his team-mate with a caption that simply read: “Happy birthday, Trent.”
But there was a catch as the star midfielder hid behind the present and waited for the full-back to finish with media duties.
After about 20 minutes of the ex-Borussia Dortmund star standing behind the board, Alexander-Anrold finally showed up.
The versatile midfielder went to have a look and that was when Bellingham emerged from his hiding spot to scare the Liverpool star.
The two team-mates went on to high-five each other, but many believe there is more than meets the eye.
One fan tweeted: “I’d hate to be Liverpool right now.”
Another commented: “It’s so over for Liverpool.”
A third wrote: “Real Madrid connection.”
And a fourth stated: “Agent Jude.”
Liverpool fans even went as far as to order Bellingham to “stay away” from Alexander-Arnold for the rest of the international break.
One tweeted: “Separate these two immediately, none of that luring to Madrid act.”
Another wrote: “STAY AWAY!”
A third commented: “Cute idea.. but don’t you dare Jude.”
Transfer rumours suggest Real see Alexander-Arnold as a replacement for Dani Carvajal at right-back.
However, Los Blancos just extended Carvajal’s deal until 2026 despite him suffering a devastating injury last week that will sideline him for the rest of the season.
