Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is being linked with a potential move away from the club this summer, with Saudi Arabian teams showing strong interest. The 33-year-old Dutch international is reportedly open to the idea.
TEAMtalk reports that Van Dijk is ready to explore a move to the Saudi Pro League and has given his approval for talks between his suitors and Liverpool.
Liverpool are asking for a fee of around £46.3 million for the central defender, but it remains to be seen if the Saudi club is willing to meet this demand.
Van Dijk, regarded as one of the Premier League’s best defenders, could be a valuable acquisition.
However, with his contract expiring next summer, the Saudi team is hoping to negotiate a lower price and might walk away if Liverpool doesn’t reduce their asking price.
Van Dijk is an essential player for Liverpool, having played a key role since his transfer from Southampton, helping the club secure major trophies.
As club captain, his departure would be significant, and Liverpool is likely to resist selling him.
The club will aim to convince him to stay and sign a new contract to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer. If a new deal isn’t secured, Liverpool might face pressure to sell him this summer.
