Getty - Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk could join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the 2026-27 season, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 35-year-old central defender has not received an offer of a renewal from Liverpool officials, suggesting that his time at the club could be coming to a natural conclusion. Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, who already has Van Dijk's former teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahima Konaté in his defensive ranks, both also signed at the end of their Liverpool contracts, is interested in adding another center back. However, Madrid are not the only club monitoring the situation, with AC Milan, Galatasaray and Inter Miami also mentioned as potential destinations. Van Dijk joined Liverpool in 2018 and helped transform the club's fortunes, playing his part in the club winning every domestic trophy as well as the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club Cup.

The Reds are said to be admirers of the 17-year-old, but there is significant competition emerging in the race for his signature, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain also keen. The Liga MX side are expected to part ways with him at the end of the season when they believe his value will be at its highest. Mora impressed at the World Cup in the summer and has made an impressive start to the new campaign with five goals in seven matches.
