According to Spor Arena, Beşiktaş has made an offer to Virgil van Dijk, and the player has initially responded positively to the proposal. To discuss the terms in more detail, Van Dijk's agent has been invited to Istanbul. Rumours indicate that the player's annual salary expectation is 12 million Euro. It is also reported that Liverpool, where Van Dijk has one year left on his contract, is asking for at least 10 million Euro as a transfer fee. English press reports suggest that Liverpool is now prepared to sell the 35-year-old for a suitable offer, as he is no longer considered indispensable.
