Galatasaray ‘to make move’ for Virgil van Dijk amid Liverpool uncertainty | OneFootball

Liverpool face the prospect of captain Virgil van Dijk leaving Anfield, with Galatasaray moving for the centre-back. Fotomaç reports that the Süper Lig champions have opened an ambitious pursuit, holding preliminary face-to-face talks with his agent and receiving encouraging signals about a switch to Rams Park.

The Istanbul club are preparing for potential bids for Davinson Sánchez during this window and want a top-class leader at the back. Van Dijk has been identified as their primary target.

The defender is into the final year of his Liverpool contract, a situation that could invite offers this summer.

He is currently on international duty with the Netherlands at the World Cup, so any decision on personal terms or a fee is likely after his tournament ends.

Liverpool will fight to keep their captain, yet the promise of a multi-year deal and immediate Champions League football under Okan Buruk gives Galatasaray hope of pulling off a headline signing.
