Süper Lig giants chase Van Dijk

The 35-year-old Virgil van Dijk, who plays for Liverpool, is set to be one of the most talked-about names in the transfer window. According to the Italian press, Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor are closely monitoring the Dutch defender's situation. Saudi Arabian clubs are also among those interested in the player.

According to a report in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan also want to add Van Dijk to their squad. The club's owner, Gerry Cardinale, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have reportedly admired the player for a long time. However, it was stressed that Milan may have to compete with Turkish and Saudi Arabian clubs.

Van Dijk spoke about his contract with Liverpool at the Netherlands national team camp. He said it would be good if the contract were renewed, and otherwise he would move to another club, leaving open the possibility of leaving Liverpool. His current contract expires on 30 June 2027. If he does not extend it, he will be able to negotiate with other clubs from 1 January 2027 for next season.

The report also noted that the player, who turns 36 on 8 July 2027, could sign one of the last major contracts of his career. It was stated that Saudi Arabian clubs could be an advantage if he prioritizes financial conditions, while he may consider his options in Europe if he puts sporting goals first. Van Dijk, who has made 15 appearances for Liverpool this season, will find out his future during the transfer window.
