Graeme Souness, a former Liverpool player and one of its legends, mentioned Van Dijk in connection with Real Madrid in the podcast 'Three Up Front de William Hill'. He expressed concern about the end of Van Dijk's contract with Liverpool in June 2025 and suggested that if his agent called Real Madrid's Sports Director, they would sign him. He also mentioned that Van Dijk is showing signs of discontent, something he hasn't done throughout his career.

Graeme Souness, Liverpool legend, warns about the uncertain future of defender Virgil van Dijk at Anfield. Van Dijk, who is 32 years old and has been one of the pillars of Liverpool since 2018, has one more year of contract with the team. Souness defends in the podcast 'Three Up Front de William Hill' that Van Dijk is 'dissatisfied' and recalled that in January the Dutch defender already admitted that he was not clear about his future and that he would decide at the end of the season. The desire of Van Dijk to win titles can lead him to sign for Real Madrid.

Contract is about to expire. Player might be unhappy with current situation.
