Liverpool could lose one of their most important players this summer, as Real Madrid are planning a blockbuster move for him when Jurgen Klopp leaves, Manchester United have made an ‘enquiry’ to see if they can sign a huge name from Saudi Arabia, while Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk includes Barcelona trying to land a second Arsenal man after Mikel Arteta.
LIVERPOOL STAR EYED BY REAL MADRID
The departure of Jurgen Klopp from Liverpool might have huge ramifications for the senior squad, as reports have tipped Virgil van Dijk to leave for Real Madrid.
On Friday morning, Klopp announced he was running out of energy as Liverpool manager and that he will leave Anfield at the end of the season.
Barcelona are doing all they can to make him Xavi’s replacement ahead of next season, though it will be tough as the German is eager to take at least a year out from the game.
Klopp’s departure has led to speculation that vital Liverpool stars Van Dijk, Mo Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold might leave in the near future, as all of their contracts expire in summer 2025.
Van Dijk was recently asked about whether he will extend his contract and be part of the new era after Klopp. However, the centre-back has left Liverpool fans worried with his rather uncertain response.
“That’s a big question. Well, I don’t know,” he said.
Van Dijk added that the club has ‘a very big job on its hands’ to replace Klopp and his coaching staff, and that he is ‘very curious’ to see what happens both in terms of Liverpool’s future and his own.
Unsurprisingly, the Dutchman’s comments have alerted major European clubs to the possibility of signing him from Liverpool this summer.
Ancelotti to ‘make a splash’ with deal for Klopp favourite
According to stunning reports from Spain, Madrid are hoping to hit Liverpool with a ‘bombshell’ by making Van Dijk the new heart of their defence.
Los Blancos have been tipped to ‘make a splash’ in the transfer market by completing a big-money deal for him.
Although, it is unclear exactly how much Van Dijk could be on the move for. Liverpool originally spent £75million on him, but his value has fallen to £27.7m on transfermarkt as he is now 32 years old.

Although, it is unclear exactly how much Van Dijk could be on the move for. Liverpool originally spent £75million on him, but his value has fallen to £27.7m on transfermarkt as he is now 32 years old.
Plus, Liverpool would struggle to demand a huge fee for their captain if he refuses to extend his contract beyond 2025.
While Van Dijk is entering the twilight years of his career, he would still be a fantastic addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. He could form a strong centre-half partnership with either Antonio Rudiger or Eder Militao, once the latter returns from ACL surgery.
Alexander-Arnold is the most likely of the previously mentioned trio to stay with Liverpool, as he is a lifelong fan of the club and came through their academy. Salah, meanwhile, is expected to receive a new offer from Saudi outfit Al Ittihad at the end of the season.
Liverpool have yet to decide on which top-class winger they want to replace Salah, though they do have a couple of defenders in mind to succeed from Van Dijk. There is interest in Goncalo Inacio of Sporting CP, while Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo has impressed Liverpool scouts recently.
