At the beginning of 2018, Virgil van Dijk switched from FC Southampton to Liverpool FC for almost 85 million euros – at that time a record revenue for a defensive player. Seven and a half years later, the commitment of the Dutchman on the Angard Road seems to be an end. There is also a change to FC Bayern in the room.
The Treaty of Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool FC ends in the summer of 2025, an allegedly desired extension on the part of the club should be difficult. Rumors that an agreement had recently been reached, the 33-year-old recently denied himself after the Reds’ 4-0 win in the FA Cup against Tottenham Hotspur.
“I don’t know what the future brings. Whoever says he knew – it is wrong,” said van Dijk – and fueled the rumors.
The Spanish portal “El Nacional” now brings three European football heavyweights into play, which are said to have thrown an eye on the central defender: Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and FC Bayern should therefore play with the thought, van Dijk in summer 2025 To sign zero tariff.
The report points out that the captain’s free departure -free departure on and next to the square would be an enormous loss for Liverpool FC, van Dijk, it is said, should be “determined to face a new challenge”.
Bavaria is to consider an advance, as one should hope for the veteran that it does not always give the stability to the stability, which is not always saddle -proof at an international level.
That speaks against a move to Bayern
But the matter certainly also has a catch: As a transfer -free player, who will probably also sign his last large contract, van Dijk should insist on a rich salary. In Munich, however, the salary budget wants to be significantly shortened.
In addition, Van Dijk will be 34 years old in early July 2025, and the 1.95-meter giant is no longer a bet on the future.
FC Bayern also avoids playing players beyond the 30 years with long -term contracts, van Dijk, in turn, is more likely to demand three years.
