Liverpool England captain Virgil van Dyke has been strongly favoured to move to the ranks of a Saudi Professional League club during the upcoming summer transfer window, after receiving irresistible financial offers in recent weeks.
According to bnnbreaking, clubs from the Saudi League have processed up to 50 million euros to sign the Liverpool defender and benefit from his services, with only one year remaining until the expiration of his contract at Anfield.
Liverpool are deeply scared by the prospect of losing three of their top players to Saudi clubs with one year remaining until the expiration of their contracts alongside Van Dyke, Egyptian star Mohamed Salah and English defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Virgil Van Dyke is wanted in the Saudi League
The 32-year-old Van Dyke was one of the highlights of Liverpool’s successes in recent years, especially in winning the Premier League and Champions League titles after many years of absence.
Liverpool, for their part, are striving to convince the giant Dutch defender to stay at Anfield and renew his contract, which expires in 2025, and the English club seems ready to execute Van Dyke’s requests just as he is trying with Mohamed Salah for the time being.
The aspirations of the Saudi League appear great next summer, as information confirms clubs there seeking the services of many football stars advanced by Van Dyke and Salah, with the aim of upgrading the local championship, increasing competitiveness and attracting more talent to the region.
Van Dyke joined Liverpool’s ranks in 2018 from England’s Southampton, and since that time he has played for the Red Team 253, scoring 23 goals with 14 assists, with a total of 22,526 minutes played.
The Dutch defender is currently valued at €32 million, putting Liverpool at a great loss between agreeing to a major financial offer from Saudi Arabia, or renewing Van Dijk’s 24 Premier League clashes this season, scoring two goals with two crucial passes.
