Wild rumor: Van Dijk to BVB?

That would be awesome! According to a report from England, Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested in signing Virgil van Dijk – as a possible replacement for Mats Hummels.

Wild rumor from England. According to a report in the Mirror, Borussia Dortmund are said to be interested in signing Virgil van Dijk. According to the Mirror, BVB is leading several European clubs that want to try for the Dutch central defender from Liverpool FC.

The 32-year-old’s contract with the Reds expires in 2025. The captain had been criticized more often recently. In addition, after the end of coach Jürgen Klopp’s era, there is a change on Merseyside. Should van Dijk actually consider a move to Dortmund, Klopp would certainly not advise him against it. Klopp shaped an era at Borussia with, among other things, two championship titles before moving on to Liverpool in 2015.

Van Dijk too expensive for BVB?

However, van Dijk’s salary, which is estimated at 13 million euros, is likely to be an obstacle. This would immediately make him the top earner for Dortmund, who have repeatedly emphasized in the recent past that they want to contain salary costs. In addition, if van Dijk were to leave, he would certainly have more well-known interested parties – at least on paper.

Van Dijk tore his cruciate ligament in October 2020, but fought his way back to the highest level after a ten-month break. After his suffering, he won an FA Cup and two League Cups with Liverpool, but lost the Champions League final in Paris against Real Madrid in 2022.

This season, van Dijk and Liverpool failed in the quarter-finals of the Europa League against Atalanta Bergamo. In the Premier League, the Reds are in danger of running out of steam in the three-way battle with Arsenal and Manchester City.

The Mirror speculates that van Dijk could replace Mats Hummels in Dortmund if the 36-year-old does not want to renew his contract, which expires in the summer.

BVB will face PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on Wednesday. The second leg will take place six days later in Paris.
