The specter of change looms over Anfield as Liverpool’s captain, Virgil van Dijk, could take the exit door this summer with Real Madrid a possible destination, according to Graeme Souness, Soccernet.football reports.
With Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure paving the way for an overhaul within the club’s ranks, the spotlight shifts to the imminent appointment of his successor and forthcoming transfers.
Despite van Dijk’s steadfast presence in the Liverpool lineup, the impending departure of Klopp has cast a cloud of uncertainty, compounded by the Dutch defender’s contract expiring in 2025.
This unfolding scenario could pave the way for a potential departure, even for a figure as integral as van Dijk, provided the terms align favourably.
Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that an exit for van Dijk is not beyond the realm of possibility as the landscape at Anfield undergoes a seismic shift in the weeks ahead.
Expressing his concerns, Souness pointed to van Dijk’s contract nearing its end, adding weight to the speculation.
“I’m concerned that Virgil van Dijk’s contract is about to expire. In July, he turns 33, and if his agent called the sporting director of Real Madrid, they would take him away,” as per quotes from Diario AS.
Since joining Liverpool from Southampton in 2018, Virgil van Dijk has made 268 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 23 goals and adding 12 assists.
In that time, the Dutch defender has won the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
