Liverpool fans have seen their Virgil van Dijk disappear from the World Cup after the round of 16. Heavy for the Dutchman, but for the Liverpool supporters with a sigh of relief that they didn’t get the injury that ruins the pre-season. It therefore came as a shock, as Italian media reported AC Milan are making a bold move to sign the Liverpool captain before the start of the season. Not many hours later, it looks like the supporters can shake off the potential shock.
Van Dijk’s contract expires next summer, this is what has made AC Milan and Ruben Amorim sense an opportunity for a push. In addition, a summer of big changes is expected at Liverpool with Andoni Iraola at the reins, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Liverpool supporters can thus also be relaxed, the captain is in his post at the start of the season.
