Van Dijk could leave Liverpool next summer

In depth

Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk will end his contract with Liverpool next summer, when he turns 36. The club is already preparing for the possibility that he will part ways, and at the same time they are preparing a replacement.

Brighton are demanding 100 million euros for the player marked as Van Dijk's replacement. Van Dijk said: "We'll see what happens, maybe I'll go somewhere else", and noted: "I've had an amazing period here".

Van Dijk cast doubt on his staying at Anfield: "If I don't renew my contract, I will move somewhere else". Clubs from Turkey and Italy, including Milan and Juventus, are in contact with the defender.
