Fabrizio Romano offers an update on Liverpool player Virgil van Dijk amid “shock” rumours.
Liverpool will embark on a new chapter this summer, as Jurgen Klopp prepares to stand aside as manager. However, Liverpool has already made significant headway in terms of not only identifying a replacement for Klopp, but also at the boardroom level. Michael Edwards has joined FSG as CEO of Football, and Richard Hughes is likely to become Liverpool’s next sporting director. Edwards and Hughes, together with Arne Slot, will have a busy week at Anfield, with intervention required on a number of squad players.
Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all out of contract next year, so choices will need to be made about their future. Over the last several days, there has been conjecture that Van Dijk is a target for Borussia Dortmund, according to The Mirror (via Bild). However, Fabrizio Romano has resorted to his YouTube channel to dispel these rumors.
