'You don't need a lot of money. In my head, there's always Liverpool
Big clubs in Europe seduced them by offering large amounts of money for recruitment, but they did not even respond to negotiations.
Because there was only one thought in his mind. 'Remain in Liverpool' The amazing loyalty of world-class defender Virgil van Dijk (34) has been revealed belatedly, leaving a big lingering impression.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, said on the 18th (Korean time) 'It was revealed belatedly that Chelsea and Barcelona made a shocking offer to recruit Liverpool's star player' about the unconventional temptation of big clubs pouring into Van Dijk.
Liverpool's leading defender Van Dijk's contract with Liverpool ended after this season along with other key players such as Mohamed Salah and Trend Alexander-Arnold. Therefore, he became an FA (free contract) in the summer transfer market and was able to transfer to another team without a transfer fee. It is a huge opportunity to take the world's best center back without transfer fees. So the best big clubs in Europe jumped on Van Dijk's recruitment.
Chelsea, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are representative clubs. In the end, however, Van Dijk agreed to renew his two-year contract with Liverpool by 2027.
Liverpool announced on its website on the 17th that it has signed a new contract with Van Dijk until 2027. As a result, Van Dyke will wear Liverpool's red jersey as Anfield's guardian deity until 2027.

Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all approached Van Dijk's confidants and showed interest in recruiting him, but Van Dijk showed no interest at all. GBR Football Senior Reporter Graham Bailey said 'All the big clubs in Europe have been overconfident. If Van Dijk had expressed his intention to transfer, everyone would have actively created a negotiation table. But Van Dyke didn't even care about it.
In the end, Van Dijk re-signed with Liverpool as he wanted. Van Dyke will be 36 years old when his contract ends by 2027. It's like the end of an active career. So it's safe to say it's a 'life contract'.
