Liverpool could reportedly be ready to sell Virgil van Dijk if they receive a transfer bid in the region of £89million.

Van Dijk is undoubtedly one of the finest players in the world in his position and would be a great fit at the Bernabeu, where big-name ‘Galactico’ signings like this are always popular.

Defenders, however, don’t often move for as big fees as attacking players, and one imagines the transfer market will also change in the near future due to the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
LFC fans will surely be hoping Real aren’t ready to pay up for Van Dijk anyway and that he remains at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
