Van Dijk, who has just over a year left on his current contract, has been suggested to be unhappy and may consider leaving the club, particularly for Real Madrid. This potential departure could pose a significant challenge for Slot as he prepares to make the transition to the Premier League and is expected to deal with the departure of another key defender, Joel Matip.
Reds icon Graeme Souness has expressed concern about the situation, highlighting the uncertainties surrounding Liverpool’s character following recent performances. He believes that Van Dijk’s potential exit could be a significant blow to the team and cautioned that Slot will need to win over the captain in order to ease the transition.
Souness also suggested that Van Dijk may be seeking a move to a club where he can win more silverware as his career approaches its later stages. These uncertainties could potentially lead to a departure from Liverpool for the Dutch defender.
