Van Dijk opens up about Arnold and Madrid, surprising words: 'For me...

Van Dijk speaks after Arnold's departure to Madrid, and his words make his goal clear

The departure of a significant footballer like Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool has been a hard blow for British fans. However, things could have been much worse, as rumors suggested that a possible departure of Virgil van Dijk could also become a reality. However, with Trent's departure, the Dutch footballer's words have made clear what he wants for his future.

"For me, there's no other place to be right now," were the words that have comforted all Liverpool fans, making it clear that he's staying. This is quite important for the English team, as they will keep one of those historic center-backs. However, in the case of Real Madrid, which had already given up on the footballer, it only confirms what was already known.

In any case, the Madrid team had already managed the option of this footballer as not viable due to his age. Therefore, they are looking for other prospects and, unlike him, Alexander-Arnold does fit into the club's plans.

He will stay at Liverpool

The 33-year-old footballer has consolidated a quite important season in this last course. He has played more than 4,300 minutes in 48 matches, where he has been the total defensive block of a surprising Liverpool.

The departure of the right-back remains one of the most significant blows to the club's structure, as he is one of its main offensive players. However, the stay of this player as a lock is one of the best news for the English team and its fans.

Even so, the one who ends up gaining much more is Real Madrid, with a footballer who still has unbelievable potential. Moreover, in the offensive aspect, they could benefit greatly from a player who knows, like few others, how to go on the attack.

Madrid prevails

Despite everything, the Dutch player will stay where he wants, and Madrid will have a historic signing for their squad. While everyone wins in some way with this agreement, the reality is that the white team is the one that comes out much more benefited.
