Major League Soccer (MLS) at the end of the season, where he plans to finish his career in the United States.
With just six months left on his current deal at Anfield, Van Dijk could still help Liverpool secure Premier League success before bidding farewell.
The 33-year-old, along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is approaching free agency, leaving Liverpool scrambling to retain their key players.
However, it appears that any attempts to keep Van Dijk at the club are unlikely to succeed.
According to Sky Sports France, he is already considering his next destination, seeking a “final adventure abroad” before retiring.
While Al Hilal from Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered him a lucrative deal, Van Dijk seems more inclined to join the MLS, as he is drawn to American culture and views the move as a fitting way to conclude his football journey.
A similar path may be taken by Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, who is also eyeing the MLS as his next step once his contract ends this summer.
After Liverpool’s recent Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, Van Dijk reportedly had conversations with Nasser El Khelaïfi and Luis Campos, though these discussions have been described as informal.
Despite his availability, no negotiations have begun with PSG, and it remains uncertain whether he would consider staying in Europe.
Should Van Dijk leave, Liverpool’s defensive line would face significant challenges.
With Alexander-Arnold rumored to be a target for Real Madrid, Konate attracting interest from top European clubs, and Robertson nearing the twilight of his career, Liverpool may be forced to rebuild their defense for the future.
