Inter Milan plot ambitious move for Virgil van Dijk

Inter Milan’s pursuit of Virgil van Dijk is gaining momentum, with the Italian club reportedly keen on striking a pre-agreement with the Liverpool star in January.

With the Dutch defender’s contract expiring in 2025, Inter are eyeing a free transfer next summer, making him a marquee target.

Van Dijk, who has been a rock for Liverpool since his move from Southampton in 2018, remains a crucial part of Arne Slot’s setup. However, uncertainty lingers as contract renewal talks stall, and Inter could seize the opportunity. Beppe Marotta, Inter’s president, is a known admirer of Van Dijk and has already made inquiries about his availability.

The Dutchman’s €13.5 million-a-season wages present a challenge, but at 33, Van Dijk might consider a pay cut for a fresh challenge in Serie A. As January approaches, Liverpool will likely intensify efforts to retain him, but Inter could offer a tempting escape route.

This potential move adds intrigue to the upcoming winter transfer window.
