However, there’s a crucial condition to this potential deal: van Dijk is only willing to make the switch if Liverpool agrees to let him leave on a free transfer.
It’s worth noting that this season, the Netherlands international has made 54 appearances for the Merseyside club across all competitions, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists. Transfermarkt currently values the defender at €18 million.
Reminder: Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo is preparing to leave the club for a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool among the clubs reportedly interested in the player.
