Virgil van Dijk has sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool fans - and one that shows Florian Wirtz exactly what he’ll be playing for at Anfield.
Wirtz is set to become Van Dijk’s teammate this summer after an agreement was reached with Bayer Leverkusen for what could prove to be a Premier League record transfer fee.
Wirtz will of course be joining a team looking to defend its Premier League crown next season, having once again drawn level with its biggest rival Manchester United on 20 league titles.
And having captained Liverpool to that triumph, Van Dijk posted a poignant message on his Instagram for the club’s supporters, giving Wirtz a glimpse at just what it means to play for the Reds.
“Almost forgot that this was the whole point,” Van Dijk wrote along with a series of pictures of him celebrating Liverpool’s title.
“It’s an absolute privilege to play for you Reds.
Thanks to each one of you that helped making this season so special.”
It looks as though it will be just a matter of time before Wirtz’s move to Liverpool is confirmed after an agreement was reached with Leverkusen.
The deal will be worth a guaranteed $136 million (£100 million) with a further $22 million (£16 million) in add-ons after negotiations with the Bundesliga side came to a conclusion.
