Barcelona have held talks with Van Dijk. However, he has stated that he will wait for the conclusion of the ongoing contract extension talks with Liverpool and has not yet responded to the offers.

Virgil van Dijk is running out of time on his current deal, and major European sides, including Barcelona, are ready to pounce in January. Talks with Liverpool are underway and cited as very positive. Some sources say a deal is agreed in principle with Liverpool, and details are being ironed out. Van Dijk is likely to stay at Liverpool as things stand.

Centre-back Van Dijk, 33, was linked with a switch to Barcelona back in January. Van Dijk has offered more optimism surrounding his future after revealing last month that he is speaking to the "right people" about a new deal.
