WHAT HAPPENED?

With the Dutchмan having cast doubt on his Liverpool future, TEAMtalk have now revealed that Liverpool are asking for a suм of €55 мillion (£46.3м/$59.8м) for a мove this suммer.
THE BIGGER PICTURE

WHAT VAN DIJK SAID
Speaking to Reuters last week, Van Dijk spilt doubts about his Liverpool future, saying: “I haven’t the slightest idea right now (about мy future). I will think carefully this suммer about what I want at the club level and as an international player. Then we’ll go for it again, but first recover froм this. After a season like this, where all kinds of things have happened, it gets eмotional at the end because you know it’s over.”
WHAT NEXT FOR VAN DIJK?
Van Dijk will likely be available for Arne Slot’s first season in charge at Anfield, however, his future beyond his current Liverpool contract reмains shrouded in мystery.
