Virgil van Dijk may leave Liverpool for Barcelona next summer as contract talks with the Reds remain unresolved.
The club captain is in the final months of his deal, alongside Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with no agreement in sight.
The Catalan giants are in the market for a new centre-back as they prepare to part ways with Andreas Christensen, who has lost his place under Hansi Flick.
With the Danish defender expected to leave, Barcelona could make a move for Van Dijk if he becomes a free agent at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
The Spanish club has also been linked with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah, who is eager for a new challenge. However, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco dismisses the idea of signing Van Dijk, citing concerns over his age. At 33, the Dutch international may not fit into Flick’s long-term plans.
Meanwhile, Barcelona remains focused on La Liga, where Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid drop points over the weekend. A win against Rayo Vallecano on Monday could send Flick’s side back to the top of the table.
