Van Dijk advised to only leave Liverpool if he goes to Real Madrid

Virgil van Dijk is entering the final year of his Liverpool contract, and the possibility of him leaving the club in the upcoming transfer window has been a topic of interest. While Van Dijk's form this season has been impressive, helping Liverpool maintain a solid defence, there are questions over whether he will stay.

Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam believes that if Van Dijk decides to leave, Real Madrid is the only logical option for the Dutch centre-back. Stam commented that if he moves to Bayern Munich or PSG, Van Dijk may have difficulty adapting to a new style of play and team-mates, which could affect his career.

Stam also cited the example of Lionel Messi, who moved from Barcelona to PSG and struggled to adapt. However, Real Madrid are considered a team with a style of play and structure that suits Van Dijk's level. Stam also did not rule out the possibility that Van Dijk could choose to play in the United States in the final years of his career.

Since joining Liverpool from Southampton in 2018, Van Dijk has made nearly 300 appearances, becoming a mainstay in the squad that helped Liverpool win many important titles such as the Premier League and Champions League. With his contract about to expire, Liverpool will have to do everything they can to keep one of their most important players.

Van Dijk is now an indispensable factor in coach Arne Slot's squad, and Liverpool are maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League, 4 points away from the second-placed team, which makes the team even more determined to keep the Dutch center-back.
