The future of Virgil van Dijk, who has long been Liverpool’s talisman, has been up for discussion lately, but Real Madrid has made their stance quite plain.
Following Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City, Arne Slot was once more questioned over the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mo Salah, and Virgil van Dijk.
Despite Carlo Ancelotti’s refusal to comment on the move, the former has long been associated with a move to Real Madrid.
While some of Liverpool’s January transfer business already seems to be known, Fabrizio Romano has hinted at the Reds’ top priorities for when the window opens.
In order to advance in the second part of the 2024–25 La Liga season, Los Blancos would likely need to bolster their roster, but MARCA claims that they have no interest in van Dijk at all.
For Liverpool supporters who are concerned about the dissolution of their team, that will be welcome news. If it’s feasible, they appear to have improved under Arne Slot once more.
They currently appear to be in a strong position to win a second Premier League, which would be the first one they could celebrate in front of their supporters.
It was slapped back in the middle of COVID, so Jordan Henderson had to celebrate in front of an empty Anfield when he raised the trophy a few seasons ago.
Van Dijk would undoubtedly want to be the captain who raises the trophy at the end of the season, and it would be even better for everyone if he could celebrate signing a new contract at the same time, preferably well in advance.
