Liverpool are yet to offer Van Dijk a contract extension and the Dutch international is gathering interest from several European giants. A number of clubs were eyeing Van Dijk’s signature last summer, but Liverpool were not interested in letting him leave and he is currently undergoing his ninth season with the Anfield outfit.

Van Dijk has suitors in Turkey with Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek back in March identifying the Liverpool star as a dream target for the defence. Van Dijk is liked by AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale and advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but it is still unclear whether the Liverpool star has a preferred destination in mind.

This season Andoni Iraola has kept faith in Van Dijk to lead his defence despite a former Netherlands international claiming that the centre-back has declined from his peak. Van Dijk has featured in all but one game for Liverpool in the ongoing season and former MLS star Alejandro Moreno claimed that his season so far has been marred with mistakes.
