‘No, NOT Madrid!’: Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson hints he wants Jude Bellingham at Anfield after telling a fan the England starlet won’t move to the Bernabeu… as the pair joke alongside Reds team-mate Alexander-Arnold
England trio Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold were caught in a hilariously awkward situation which has since gone viral on social media.
Teenage sensation Bellingham has been the talk of the tournament with his impressive performances for England leading to rumours over his club future circulating already.
And after a Real Madrid fan attempted to convince the 19-year-old to move to Spain, Liverpool‘s Henderson had to intervene and have his say on the matter.

In a hilarious interaction, caught on video, Henderson tells a fan that Bellingham that shouldn’t sign for Real Madrid in the future.
In the clip, the fan says: ‘Bellingham, you are the best central midfielder in the world. You are very good. Come to Real Madrid.’
Once those words are uttered, Liverpool captain Henderson says: ‘No, no. Not Madrid! No, he can’t go Madrid.’ He wagged his finger in disapproval as he spoke.
Another person in the background can be heard saying: ‘Don’t come [go] to Liverpool!’. Henderson can be seen responding to that but his response is muffled in the recording.
The man recording then turns back to Bellingham and says: ‘If you come to Real Madrid, you’ll win a Ballon d’Or.’
‘You think so? We’ll see,’ the Borussia Dortmund midfielder replies.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – who remained silent throughout the video – recently denied claims he was trying to persuade Bellingham to join Liverpool.
The pair are both in England’s World Cup squad – with Gareth Southgate’s side currently unbeaten and into the last-16 of the World Cup – and have been seen touring Doha together.
The Liverpool full-back shared an image of the two players walking around Qatar’s capital city which led fans to think a move for the midfielder was on the cards.
