Virgil van Dijk’s future appears to have been influenced by Liverpool’s Champions League exit, with new reports from Spain suggesting that the Dutch defender may leave the club due to this disappointment.
With his contract expiring at the end of the season—alongside Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold—speculation about Van Dijk’s next move has been ongoing. According to Fichajes, the 33-year-old is now seriously considering departing Anfield as a free agent.
Liverpool’s elimination by PSG in the Champions League, coupled with their Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle, has reportedly led him to reassess his future.
Following Liverpool’s defeat to PSG at Anfield, Van Dijk was seen in conversation with officials from the French club, fueling speculation about a possible move to Paris.
Reports suggest that PSG may be interested in signing him as part of their defensive restructuring. Given their dominance in Ligue 1, they could add a world-class defender without paying a traditional transfer fee.
However, PSG’s current recruitment strategy focuses on younger, primarily French talents with long-term potential. While Van Dijk remains an elite defender, his age does not align with their typical targets.
That said, exceptions could be made for a player of his caliber, especially if he is available on a free transfer, making the deal financially appealing.
