Barcelona are reportedly keen on signing 33-year-old Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk in a Bosman move this summer.
Virgil van Dijk will be out of contract in the summer, and he is yet to sign an extension with Liverpool. The Reds will not want to lose a player of his quality as a free agent, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince him to commit his long-term to the Merseyside club.
Meanwhile, a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes has claimed that Barcelona are hoping to get the deal done. If they manage to sign him in a Bosman move, it could prove to be a masterstroke for them. The Dutch defender is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he is a world-class player who could transform them at the back.
The 32-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League over the years, and he has helped Liverpool with every major trophy. He could be open to taking up a new challenge at this stage of his career. Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. It will be interesting to see if the Blaugrana can convince the player to join them.
Liverpool must keep their best players
Liverpool will want to challenge for major trophies regularly, and they cannot afford to lose their best players. Losing a player of his quality as a free agent would be a devastating blow. Liverpool must do everything in their power to convince van Dijk to sign a new contract with them.
The Dutchman is not the only defender linked with the move away from Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window. Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid and they are hoping to sign him on a free transfer as well.
The Liverpool captain has been exceptional this season, and he has helped the Reds climb to the top of the league table. Liverpool are on top of the UEFA Champions League standings as well, and they have made it to the finals of the EFL Cup. He will look to win major trophies with them this season.
