Virgil van Dijk has decided to leave Liverpool instead of signing a new contract. Talks over his contract have not progressed. He has two major suitors in Europe, one of them being Atletico Madrid. Despite being tempted by offers from Saudi Arabia or the MLS, he seems ready to continue at the highest level in Europe.

Atletico Madrid is interested in signing Virgil van Dijk and are offering him a contract until 2027, which gives them an advantage over Real Madrid's one-year offer.

Atletico Madrid have joined the race for Virgil van Dijk, which is a new development since they’ve not been linked with the Dutch centre-back since the summer. They are looking to tempt Van Dijk with a deal until 2027.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid are all following Van Dijk's situation. Should Van Dijk decide to leave Liverpool, all these clubs are ready to hold contract negotiations with the player.
