The new Van Dijk close to Anfield? He plays in Germany and Liverpool is interested in him

Central defender and Liverpool icon Virgil van Dijk is already in the latter part of his career. Despite the fact that he has brought joy to the Liverpool fans we have to accept that he won't last forever. It's a shame but that's football.

By now we have seen how his leadership is a fundamental part of the team. Without him, the defense is completely affected. You just have to remember the injury he had in 2020 that took him away from the field for almost a year and completely affected the team's chances to win the league.

However, Jurgen Klopp is already looking to the future and one of the Liverpool captain's compatriots would be in the spotlight, we are talking about Sepp van den Berg, one of the Schalke 04 defenders. Believe us, he just has the perfect amount of Van Dijk vibes, a great prospect for a great team. 

Future Liverpool defender?

The young Dutchman is 20 years old and has already participated in his nation's U-21 team. So far he has participated in three Bundesliga games, helping his defense to only concede one goal per game. He plays right-back and center-back. Liverpool better take him bakc before other teams put an eye on him.
