Van Dijk, as well as Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, are in the last months of their contract in Anfield and the players have not yet concluded new agreements with the Reds. According to Sport, if Van Dijk becomes free at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, the experienced Dutch defender could go to Spain and join Barcelona.
The Catalan giants will seek to recruit a new central defender this summer because they are all ready to separate from Andreas Christensen, who fell into disgrace under Hansi Flick. With Christensen out of the team, Barcelona will want to add a new central defender and we think that Van Dijk will be offered to the La Liga team. The club is also linked to a transfer for Jonathan Tah, who wishes to leave Bayer Leverkusen.
Barça wants a defender
The Sport Journal also adds that the Catalan club should be interested in the Dutch international, even if Deco has dismissed the possibility of recruiting the defender because of his age. At 33, Van Dijk would not be the ideal candidate to integrate into the Hansi Flick system, according to Barça's sports director.
While Real Madrid and Atlético have lost points in La Liga this weekend, the Flick team could resume first place in the ranking by beating Rayo Vallecano at home on Monday.
