London: So, it looks like Real Madrid isn’t interested in signing Virgil van Dijk after all. Reports from Spain say they turned down the chance to bring him on board this summer.
Right now, Van Dijk is set to become a free agent since his contract with Liverpool ends this season. He can chat with other clubs about a pre-contract deal, but he’s still talking with Liverpool.
There were whispers that he had agreed to a new three-year deal, but it seems that’s not the case. No one’s signed anything yet, and it’s still up in the air.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is focused on getting Trent Alexander-Arnold, but they could have had Van Dijk too. His agents reached out to Real, saying he’d be open to a move.
Real is looking to strengthen their defense after some injuries this season, which is why they’re eyeing Alexander-Arnold now instead of waiting.
However, it seems they passed on Van Dijk because of his age and other factors. They’re looking for younger options. Plus, there are hints that Van Dijk might be close to signing a new deal with Liverpool.
It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, isn’t it? If Van Dijk does leave, you’d hope it’s for a big club like Real, but it feels like he might stick around at Liverpool for a bit longer.
Let’s see if he really is close to a new deal. We’ve heard similar things before, but until it’s official, it’s all just talk.
