He’s 28/29. Once you’ve won the CL and League at Liverpool I think the cycle is finished. Can see him wanting a new project,

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

If VVD leave it'll be either barca or real madrid. Juve would be step down

Would be interesting if they could unite Van Dijk and De Ligt for club and country.

 

[Sydney-Gooner]

Liverpool would make at least £110 million if they sold him and could afford Koulibaly with some change left over.

Doubt any club is spending any decent money on a 30 year old CB.

 

[Flying Okapis]

I can see this happening with Mane and Salah too, once the league is won I wouldnt be surprised if they want a challenge (win trophies) elsewhere.

As good as Liverpool are I dont think they have the big club drawing power around Europe.

Koulibaly is 28 and a half. They'd get around 3-4 good seasons out of him.

 

[Camron]

If this is true...

If you want to make big money you bet high on this rumor.

Football will evolve into a 2-4 year game, before the cycle ends and you look elsewhere.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

So how much Liverpool value Van Dijk? The guy is best cb in Europe with today market 150m shouldn't even considered crazy

Fully agree. Would be the start of a mass exodus if it did happen. Apart from possibly the Brazilians I can't see their other world class players staying.

His price will have to drop for clubs to push for him. His chairman wanted more than 100M last summer, who is paying that? Nobody.

Anything more than 50M is questionable for me.

 

[GDeep™]

Let’s be realistic, Mane is 28 next month. The window for another big move for him is small.

 

[GDeep™]

Major clubs rarely pay big or even move for African players too, given their ages also, and what their clubs will ask, the market is restricted for Mane, Salah, Koulibaly.

African cup of nations next year too, so you’re not paying massive for these guys anytime soon.

SAF said the same thing:

"I always believe a four-year cycle is probably the most you can achieve. There are very, very few teams who can create more than a four-year cycle.

"Last season we almost did it. We were one point short of winning the league.

"We have been doing this for the last three or four years and we realised that to maintain the high consistency of being there, which is as important as anything, we had to inject youth into the club.

Koulibaly is massively overrated in my opinion, I think a lot of people just see this physical beast at the back and ignore all his flaws thats if they have seen him play outside of YouTube compilations.

Dont get me wrong hes a decent defender but I wouldnt say hes hes that much better than Harry Maguire..

(Ready for the onslaught of venom coming my way)

Liverpool is the best team in the world and probably the most fun team to be around. Plus to be worshipped as a god at anfield is creme de la creme for a soccer player in these circumstances. VVD will not leave

Many things wrong with this my main man, but the one thing that is completely unforgivable... "soccer", you are better than that!

oops sorry, football!

Other than that, not one truer statement have ever been made on this forum. Dread from it, run from it, deny it all the same. Liverpool FC is the place to be

Is it? :confused:

I highly doubt Salah and Van Dijk grew up with dreams of being worshipped by the kop.

Either would jump at the chance to join either of Spains big boys I'd imagine.

Mane just seems like a decent guy so no idea what he would do.
