Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk’s contract expires at the end of this season and the Premier League side haven’t yet tied him down to a new deal.
Towards the end of last month, the centre-back told Viaplay that there’s been no update from the Reds regarding his renewal.
Recent claims have stated Real Madrid are showing interest in the Liverpool star and this has now reached Marca, who give their own take on this.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side will look to strengthen their defence in 2025, and they ‘admire and respect’ Van Dijk.
The Champions League winners deny making an offer for the 33-year-old. In fact, they aren’t considering signing him next summer as the Netherlands international isn’t even in their target list.
This should come as a boost for Liverpool, in their efforts to try and retain him beyond this season. Marca’s summary states Van Dijk will renew his contract at Liverpool until 2028 but not mentioned within the report.
Journalist José Félix Díaz, who wrote this report, has close ties with the La Liga side and would have obtained this information from Real Madrid.
He makes it clear the only Liverpool player Real Madrid are looking at is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who also has six months left on his deal.
