With Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all potentially departing the team, Liverpool may be in for a difficult summer transfer season.
The likelihood of Alexander-Arnold joining Real Madrid, where he would be reunited with childhood friend Jude Bellingham, is growing. However, as they look for defensive reinforcements, sources indicate that the Spanish powerhouses may also target Van Dijk.
Insider The Spanish champions would benefit greatly from Van Dijk’s experience, athleticism, and poise on the ball, according to Mick Brown, who has called a possible transfer to Madrid a “dead certainty.” Van Dijk is a ready-made answer for Real Madrid’s defensive needs, but they are also considering Dean Huijsen of Bournemouth.
All three of Liverpool’s players are nearing the end of their contracts, thus the club could lose them for nothing. This would be a huge blow to new manager Arne Slot. The team may suffer long-term effects if two defensive mainstays, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk, are lost.
According to reports, Liverpool has begun looking for possible Van Dijk replacements because they are aware that a defensive overhaul might be required if the Dutchman leaves.
