Whether or not Liverpool wins the title, the summer will be a busy one for them, but Virgil van Dijk is not a player Real Madrid is interested in.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s latest statements have hinted at a move to Los Blancos, and while stories have linked van Dijk with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, MARCA, a reliable Spanish daily, has verified that Real Madrid is not negotiating with Liverpool for their captain.
Real Madrid are not negotiating for Virgil van Dijk.
That will undoubtedly relieve Liverpool fans who were anxious that the club will lose Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, and Mo Salah this summer.
To his credit, Arne Slot has avoided making headline-grabbing remarks about all three players, instead dodging any questions and emphasizing the trio’s importance to the Reds.
That method of working may even benefit him when it comes to contract negotiations.

When a player feels respected and wanted, it frequently outweighs the financial considerations of a certain deal.
If Liverpool wins at least the Premier League title, let alone the Carabao Cup and Champions League, Slot makes a compelling case that any player seeking their fortune elsewhere will likely join a less successful club based on current form.
Van Dijk’s decision to stay or leave Liverpool will be influenced by the team’s performance this season. He is a valuable leader in the first-team, and Liverpool must demonstrate that he is not a good fit elsewhere.
