Galatasaray are plotting an ambitious move liverpool Captain Virgil van Dijk and his €11m per year salary will be on par.

Fotomaç reports that The Turkish side are waiting for the green light before making an official move for the Liverpool defender.

Galatasaray targets Liverpool captain

Fotomac reported that Galatasaray have already started their transfer preparations for next season. The plan is to strengthen their defence, and Virgil van Dijk is the star name they want.

The Liverpool centre-back would be a replacement for one of the two current options, Davinson Sanchez and Abdulkerim Bardaki.

The 34-year-old is a dream signing for President Dersun Ozbek, and there is belief a deal can be done. Van Dijk has one year left on his deal at Anfield and will consider his options if he risks losing his place in Arne Slott’s team next season.

The Dutchman is more than aware that he now faces the ‘last important contract’ of his career. Galatasaray plan to contact him soon and president Dursun Ozbek will be ‘closely involved’ in the process.

The feeling in Turkey is that Van Dijk is ready to play for Galatasaray. He has faced them in the Champions League this season and impressed.

He currently earns €11m per year at Liverpool after taxes. Galatasaray are ready to match him to lure him to the Super Lig next season. If the 34-year-old gives the go-ahead, action will be taken ‘immediately’ at the end of the season.

turkish optimism

Now, here at Sport Witness, we would urge caution. It’s a classic in the genre of Turkish optimism with one of their clubs signing a major European star.

In a summer where Liverpool are losing Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, while Alisson could also leave, it would be a big decision to let Virgil van Dijk go as well.

The whole idea is also based on the theory that Van Dijk could lose his place next season. Even at 34, this is not possible unless massive changes occur.

This does not mean that it is not possible by any means. But we would urge caution for now about any such transfers actually happening.

Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins’ recent change of agent could facilitate a move to Liverpool this summer.

This is according to Sky Germany. There is a small update on the 22-year-old on their website today. It appears he is preparing for a big move this summer.

According to their information, Collins wants to leave Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer.

He has already started laying the groundwork for the move by changing his agents. The report does not specify which agency the defender has joined.

But Collins has made it clear he is looking to take the next step in his career. Sky then added their information, stating that Liverpool is one of the interested clubs.

liverpool is scouting

In fact, the Reds have recently discovered a defender. He also took a closer look when the two sides met in the Champions League in October. Collins was a substitute in that game.

Of course, Liverpool have a solid relationship with the German side after signing Hugo Ekitike in the summer transfer window.

Those negotiations went quickly and smoothly and it’s easy to see the positives should talks begin over Collins in the summer.

The 22-year-old has a deal until 2030 so Frankfurt are under no pressure to sell. The Bundesliga side could demand a top price to secure a bigger return on the player who cost them €1m in 2023.

Premier League interest

In fact, he beat off Premier League competition at the time to sign from Borussia Dortmund II. Sport Witness covered various reports on Collins before that move.

For example, Chelsea and Manchester City were in a little fight Three years ago for that. Of course, neither of them could acquire him, and he was instead developed in Frankfurt.

Now he’s planning a big move this summer. This has led to a change of agents, with Liverpool looking keen.
