In a sensational revelation that has stunned the football world, French superstar Kylian Mbappé has spoken candidly about his admiration for one Liverpool player who, in his words, made him “fall in love” with the Merseyside club. It wasn’t about trophies, coaches, or the club’s storied history. According to Mbappé, his admiration stems from one man alone — the player he describes as Liverpool’s “Messiah.”

Mbappé, who has often been linked with moves to Real Madrid, Manchester City, and even Barcelona, sent shockwaves across Europe with his bold statement. “The reason why I so much like Liverpool is because of Him. He’s their Messiah. The last time we faced them in the Champions League, I know what my eyes saw,” he told French media. “If there’s an offer to join Liverpool, I will gladly accept because of Him.”

The man behind this high praise? None other than Trent Alexander-Arnold — Liverpool’s homegrown right-back who has redefined the modern full-back role and earned admiration from fans, pundits, and now one of football’s biggest names.

Mbappé’s comments are not merely flattery. They highlight a deeper respect for the intelligence and influence of Trent on the pitch. “He doesn’t play like a traditional defender. He plays like a midfielder, like a quarterback. The way he controls the game from the back… it’s genius,” Mbappé reportedly said. “He reads the game three moves ahead. His passes are surgical. I found myself watching him during the match more than focusing on my own job.”

This admiration reportedly began during Liverpool’s unforgettable Champions League encounters with Paris Saint-Germain, particularly during that famous Anfield night. Despite playing alongside legends like Neymar and Messi, Mbappé admitted that Trent’s composed brilliance and impact on the game stood out more than anything else.

Liverpool’s fans, who are never short on passion, have lit up social media with reactions. Many are calling this the clearest sign yet that Mbappé may be open to joining the Reds — a prospect that just months ago felt like fantasy. “If Mbappé is saying he would join us because of Trent, then give that man a lifetime contract!” one fan wrote. Another joked, “If Mbappé joins because of Trent, I’m naming my child Alexander-Arnold!”

Such statements have reignited dreams among the Anfield faithful of seeing one of the world’s most explosive forwards wear the famous red shirt. With new head coach Arne Slot entering a transitional phase with the squad, a marquee signing like Mbappé could elevate the club to yet another era of dominance — especially if it comes fueled by admiration and respect.

Mbappé’s words are also a testament to how far Alexander-Arnold has come. From a young academy graduate to now being referred to as a “Messiah” by one of football’s elite — it’s a narrative straight out of a football fairytale. The impact of Trent’s performances continues to transcend statistics and trophies; he inspires, influences, and now even attracts world-class talent.

As the football world debates the future of Mbappé — whether it’s a long-expected move to Madrid or a shocking shift to the Premier League — his message is loud and clear: Anfield has left a mark on his heart, and Trent is the reason why.

The story doesn’t end here. When pressed further on his future, Mbappé maintained that while his mind isn’t made up, he wouldn’t rule out a move to Liverpool. “If the stars align, and there’s a serious project, why not? Trent made me see Liverpool in a new light,” he concluded.

As things stand, there’s no formal bid on the table, and no confirmation that Liverpool are actively pursuing the World Cup winner. But in football, admiration often turns into ambition. And ambition? That turns into reality.

If Mbappé ever dons the red of Liverpool, fans will remember this moment — the time he openly declared his admiration for the “Messiah of Merseyside.” Whether it becomes a transfer saga or simply a gesture of respect, one thing is clear:

Trent Alexander-Arnold has not just won trophies. He’s winning hearts — even those of the biggest stars on the planet.
