Transfer: Alexander-Arnold likely heading to Real Madrid – Van Dijk

Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk, has said Alexander-Arnold may join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

The Dutchman said the England international would be heading to Real Madrid, a club he acknowledged as one of the biggest in the world.

He believes the right-back would just have to deal with the way fans take the news of his departure.

The defender, who has helped Liverpool to claim the Premier League title this season, was booed during the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

The player has won everything with Liverpool, making obvious contributions to the Reds’ success in recent years.

Van Dijk told reporters after the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal that it was not the way Liverpool fans should treat their players.

“Everyone shares different opinions, and he feels like he has done it all and he did — and he wants to try something different,” he said.

“You are speaking about one of the biggest clubs of all in Real Madrid, who he might go to, as I read in the media. The decision is made.

“I think the manager said it right in the press conference, you can’t decide how anyone feels about the decision he made for him and his family. The reaction happened. He has to deal with it.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold announced his decision to leave Anfield last week after the 3-1 loss to Chelsea.
