Liverpool star may have his fate sealed as transfer news emerges from Anfield

Liverpool star may have his fate sealed as transfer news emerges from Anfield Liverpool have had a lot of questions asked about the futures of their players. At the moment, no concrete moves have been made in terms of exits or arrivals but, the rumour mill has not stopped turning. This has led to many players being linked with an Anfield switch but, since they've ran out of places for non-homegrown players among their squad, change is clearly afoot. The fact that at least a handful of their players' contracts are set to expire in June 2027 also points towards there being another major rebuild in L4. And, after the latest news to emerge from Anfield, the future of one of Andoni Iraola's men could be sealed. Juventus have sent their scouts to watch Virgil van Dijk in action Virgil van Dijk is one of the many Liverpool players who's contract is set to expire in June 2027. Two years ago, the Dutchman signed an extension with the club and, since it was only going to keep him around for a couple of years, the Reds have now found themselves in a bit of a dilemma. Because, by the time he needs to get offered a new deal, he'll be a month away from turning 36 and will be getting on. At the moment, his performance levels are still extremely high with Liverpool set to look rather silly if they don't agree a new deal. However, by the end of the current campaign, that could all get flipped on its head which is why some clubs, such as Juventus, are now sending their scouts to watch Van Dijk in action. That is, if an update from La Gazzetta dello Sport is to be believed. "The Bianconeri executives sent an emissary, one who is also very close to Luciano Spalletti, to the Netherlands to gather notes and check out firsthand - and in a national, not club," they wrote . "Context: Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey and experienced defender Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool (380 appearances for the English club). "The striker's assessment lasted only 35 minutes due to injury: there will likely be other opportunities. One thing is certain: the Juventus team is already hard at work preparing for the upcoming transfer window. "September and October are the months of monitoring, expanding lists, and considering numerous names for every position. "Decisions and moves will have to wait until the winter and especially the summer of 2027. But in the meantime, there's no shortage of ideas, and among those under scrutiny are Xavi's two internationals." Juventus will be able to sign Virgil van Dijk from January When the contracts of players in England enter their final six months, they're allowed to talk to foreign clubs about a potential transfer. And, since so many of the Reds' first-team squad have their contracts expiring in June, January could be rather busy for Liverpool . However, before that time comes, decisions need to be made over all their players which is why the Reds must act fast when thinking about the futures of their squad. Because, if the Serie A outfit do end up wanting to sign the Dutchman, they'll have the ability to do so in a few months. Previous reports have shared that Liverpool want to wait until April to discuss a new deal with Van Dijk but, if a new club swoops in with an offer he can't resist then he could very easily accept the deal which would mean that the Reds would lose another one of their men for nothing.
