Prospective Liverpool boss Arne Slot is planning crunch talks with Virgil van Dijk over the defender’s future.

Van Dijk is reportedly ‘disappointed’ over Jurgen Klopp’s decision to leave Anfield and has transfer interest from abroad.

The influential Liverpool captain has only a year remaining on his contract and is reportedly not rushing to extend his terms.

With the Klopp era set to end, Van Dijk is at a crossroads and has not decided where he wants to end his career.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in a potential deal for the 32-year-old.

Clubs in Spain, Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands also harbour hopes of landing the Dutchman over the coming months.

Van Dijk is said to want to remain at the highest possible level and possesses huge drive and ambition.

He has won an FA Cup, two League Cups and reached a Champions League final since returning from a serious knee injury in 2021.

Slot is therefore keen to keep the experienced centre-back as the incoming head coach plots Liverpool’s new era.

Like Van Dijk, the Egyptian only has a year remaining on his contract and the Reds will not have as much negotiating power as they did 12 months ago when they turned down record bids for the winger.

Salah was involved in a bizarre spat with Klopp during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham, which has all but ended the club’s hopes of winning a final Premier League title of the German’s reign.
