Besiktas Close to Signing Virgil van Dijk

Besiktas is nearing a deal to sign Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk during the summer transfer window, as the club looks to strengthen its squad with notable signings.

According to "Fanatik", Virgil van Dijk has given preliminary approval for a move to Besiktas, while the club has invited his agent to Istanbul to discuss the final details of the deal.

The report indicates that the 34-year-old Liverpool defender wants to clarify his future, even though his contract with the English club runs until June 2027.

The player is demanding an annual salary of €12 million, while Liverpool wants at least €10 million for his departure.

The report indicates that Virgil van Dijk is one of Besiktas's top targets this summer, alongside the club's interest in signing Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.

Reports from England suggest that Liverpool is prepared to listen to offers for their captain, should a suitable proposal be received.
