Van Dijk on the verge of leaving Liverpool as Real Madrid emerge in the picture

Real Madrid have emerged as a potential suitor for Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk as his contract with Liverpool nears its end without an offer for renewal from the English club.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", Virgil van Dijk, who is 35 years old, has a contract with Liverpool that ends in the summer of 2027, while some British media outlets suggest that a new offer may not be made for the Dutch defender.

With this situation, the names of clubs interested in the services of Virgil van Dijk have begun to emerge, with Real Madrid among them, as the possibility of signing him on a free transfer next summer is an attractive idea for the royal club.

Real Madrid are not the only club interested in Virgil van Dijk, with AC Milan, Inter Miami, and Galatasaray also in the mix.

Real Madrid have signed Ibrahima Konaté this summer on a free transfer from Liverpool, and a similar move could happen with Van Dijk. José Mourinho wanted to bring in another defender, but the deal did not go through after Asensio did not leave Real Madrid last summer.
