Fresh reports from Spain suggest that Real Madrid have made an unexpected attempt to sign Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, with the situation developing rapidly.
Sources close to the negotiations claim that Real Madrid have placed Van Dijk at the top of their transfer list and believe the Dutch defender could become the “missing piece” in their defensive overhaul. With the club already reinforcing other areas of the squad, signing a proven leader like Van Dijk is seen as the ideal finishing touch to their long-term project.
Although Van Dijk recently extended his contract at Anfield, the report states that he is willing to consider the move, intrigued by the chance to join the Spanish giants — a team built around Champions League ambition and global prestige.
Liverpool are expected to fight off any approach. Van Dijk is viewed as essential to Arne Slot’s vision and remains a dominant presence both on and off the pitch. While no official comment has been released from the club, internal sources insist that the defender is “absolutely not available, regardless of the offer.”
No formal bid has been submitted yet, but Real Madrid’s interest has intensified in the last 24 hours, with ongoing communication through intermediaries.
