possible exit from liverpool
Virgil van Dijk is currently in the final year of his deal at Anfield. So far there has been no talk or suggestion that a new deal is going to happen.
This has led to various reports about a possible exit this summer. Sport Witness has covered many of these reports, most of which focus on Galatasaray's efforts to sign the Dutchman.
However, AC Milan have also been named as potential suitors. They are spending big in the summer to revamp their squad.
report from a week ago Explained that the Netherlands' early exit from the World Cup could hasten the process.
Liverpool is ready to negotiate
Now TMW and Buccioni report that work is going well, and, importantly, Liverpool are willing to sit down and talk.
"A brilliant idea from Ibrahimovic for Van Dijk is now in the works," the report reads.
“It is a complex, extremely difficult operation, but not impossible. The biggest obstacle is his salary, which is around €15m – unimaginable for the Rossoneri.
"The Dutchman is 34 years old, but he can still be the great leader that Milan have been looking for for a very long time. Liverpool is ready to sit down to negotiate; we are monitoring the development and looking for ways to spread the salary over time."
The question then is whether Virgil van Dijk is willing to take a pay cut this summer to secure a move away from Liverpool.
His €15m per year wages have already been cited as a problem in both Italy and Turkey, with their potential rivals needing to find a way out. This is certainly the case for Milan, who are hoping to find a solution to this issue.
