Virgil van Dijk’s future at Liverpool seems to be impacted by the club’s early exit from the Champions League, with new reports from Spain suggesting that the Dutch defender may leave due to this setback.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season—alongside Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold—there has been ongoing speculation about Van Dijk’s next steps. According to Fichajes, the 33-year-old is seriously contemplating leaving Anfield as a free agent.
Liverpool’s defeat to PSG in the Champions League, along with their loss to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, has reportedly caused Van Dijk to reconsider his future at the club.
After Liverpool’s loss to PSG at Anfield, Van Dijk was seen speaking with officials from the French club, fueling rumors about a potential move to Paris.
Reports indicate that PSG could be interested in signing him as part of their defensive overhaul. Given their dominance in Ligue 1, they may look to secure a world-class defender without paying a transfer fee.
However, PSG’s current recruitment strategy primarily focuses on younger, mostly French players with long-term potential. While Van Dijk remains a top-tier defender, his age doesn’t fit their usual profile.
Nevertheless, exceptions might be made for a player of his caliber, especially if he becomes available on a free transfer, making the deal financially attractive.
