The speculation comes amid claims that Liverpool are now prepared to listen to serious proposals for their captain, despite not actively looking to sell him.
Van Dijk, who turns 35 later this month, signed a lucrative new deal in 2025 reportedly worth around 350,000 pounds per week. However, sources claim Liverpool's hierarchy have become more open to evaluating offers after a disappointing campaign in which the club failed to retain the Premier League title.
The Merseyside club are undergoing a period of transition following Arne Slot's departure. New head coach Andoni Iraola is assessing the squad, with decisions on senior players said to have been left largely in his hands.
Iraola is not believed to be pushing for Van Dijk's exit, but neither the club nor the player would automatically dismiss a suitable offer.
Interest is reportedly growing from across Europe, with Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Saudi Pro League sides and several Major League Soccer clubs all monitoring the situation.
Liverpool's defence is already facing uncertainty after Ibrahima Konate's departure, Andy Robertson's free-transfer move to Tottenham, and ongoing questions over Joe Gomez's future.
For now, Van Dijk remains a Liverpool player, and there is no expectation that the club will force him out. Yet with his previously untouchable status reportedly removed, an off-season transfer can no longer be completely ruled out.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has moved to ease uncertainty surrounding Harvey Elliott, delivering his first public comments on the midfielder's future since taking over at Anfield.
Andoni Iraola believes his coaching journey has prepared him for the challenge of leading one of world football's biggest institutions after taking charge of Liverpool on a two-year deal.
Jurgen Klopp has revealed the extraordinary lengths Liverpool went to in their failed attempt to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco in 2017, describing the pursuit as the club's "most expensive non-transfer."
New AC Milan head coach Ruben Amorim says Samuel Chukwueze is part of his plans for the upcoming Serie A season.
