VanDijk is one of the best defenders in the world to represent the English Premier League (EPL). Van Dijk, who joined Liverpool in 2017, became a hot topic when he joined the club, but now he has become the core and center of Liverpool, putting Liverpool at the top of Europe with his skills. Van Dyck, who ranked second in the Ballon d'Or in 2019, was born in 1991 and is not a little old, but he showed off his best defensive skills in the EPL.
However, van Dijk's situation, which was expected to remain in the team for a long time as Liverpool captain, changed after manager Jurgen Klopp left the team after the end of last season. With the newly appointed Arne slot, the prospect of leaving Liverpool, which is preparing for change, has emerged. Since his contract with Liverpool is currently expiring in the upcoming summer, Liverpool may also leave the team on a free contract this summer if Pandique chooses to break up.

In this situation, the news that Liverpool is trying to find a replacement for Pandique has increased its focus on the possibility of Pandique's transfer.
Along with Araujo, the Bundesliga prospect was also listed as an alternate candidate for Pandique. Spain's Pichahes is also considering Constantinos Kulierakis as a candidate to replace Pandique. Kulierakis stood out in solidity and predictive defense even at the age of 21. VanDijk's future is unsettling, and the club will be prepared for this situation.' If Araujona, who showed top performance in Barcelona, and Culierakis, a top prospect, join, Liverpool is expected to be able to fully consider breaking up with Pandique.

Meanwhile, if Van Dyck leaves Liverpool, he is expected to be courted by European big clubs. Some media outlets say 'Real wants to strengthen its defense by recruiting Pandey. Real are considering offering VanDijk a two-year contract. However, Real is not the only club of interest. Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are also interested.
If Pandique leaves Liverpool for Bayern Munich, it is not good news for South Korean national team defender Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae has been showing good performance this season by jumping to a clear starting defender under Coach Bang Sang Kompany. However, it is also necessary to consider the possibility of a change in position due to Pandique's joining.
Many teams are paying attention to the possibility of VanDijk's transfer. If Liverpool decides to replace Pandique, more attention is expected to be paid to his move.
