More Info."At the moment, he's actually third choice right-back for Real Madrid," he said on The Overlap's latest Fan Debate. "They're playing a midfield player at right-back, so even in El Clasico, Denzel Dumfries, the first-choice right-back, comes on as a sub."So when you're third choice at a club, they're obviously wanting you to move on.

And Virgil was always going to need that at some stage where he just has to play his own game."He can't look after a back four.
