Liverpool star in ‘final betrayal negotiations’ after ‘surprise offer’ to leave with his ‘mind already set

According to reports, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has received a ‘surprise offer’ to leave the Premier League giants and his ‘mind is already set’.

Van Dijk‘s long-term future is in doubt as he is seventh in our ranking of most valuable footballers due to be out of contract this summer.

The Netherlands international is one of the best centre-backs in Premier League history and he’s returned to form after struggling following his serious knee injury.

The Liverpool standout has starred for the Premier League leaders and is among the favourites to win the 2024/25 PFA Player of the Year award.

Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in the final few months of their contracts and it remains to be seen whether they will pen new deals.

It has consistently been reported that Alexander-Arnold is the most likely of the three players to leave this summer as he has been earmarked as a long-term replacement for Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal.

However, exits for Van Dijk and Salah are also possible amid interest from European and Saudi Pro League clubs.

After Liverpool’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle United in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final at Wembley, Van Dijk offered an update on his future.

He said: “Before the end of the season there’s going to be news.

“As long as I’m fully committed and have my full focus on the task ahead, and I love the club, that’s the main thing. That’s who I am.”

A report in Spain claims Van Dijk is ‘negotiating a final betrayal’ and could ‘make an unexpected change’ after Ligue Ug giants Paris Saint-Germain ‘presented a surprise offer’.

‘According to sources close to the player, negotiations between PSG and Van Dijk’s entourage are already advanced. The French club is reportedly willing to offer him a lucrative contract and an ambitious project, something that has appealed to the centre-back.

‘For Van Dijk, the decision isn’t easy. The Dutchman has been an idol at Liverpool, and his departure would be a huge blow to the fans. However, the player knows his time at Anfield could be coming to an end, and PSG’s offer represents a unique opportunity to start a new chapter in his career.

 

Furthermore, Liverpool has not shown any firm interest in renewing Van Dijk’s contract, which has led the centre-back to explore other options.

 

‘Although the English club could try to retain him in the coming months, everything indicates that the Dutchman already has his mind set on Paris.’
