The sensational piece of information in the past few hours is AC Milan’s interest, driven in particular by Zlatan Ibrahimović already in the spring months, in the Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk. With his contract expiring next season, it could be a signing that would guarantee not only defensive stability but also a huge dose of leadership, which the Rossoneri squad clearly needs. Fabrizio Romano, however, in his latest YouTube video, has dampened the enthusiasm of Milan fans.
Fabrizio Romano on AC Milan’s interest in van Dijk: "As of today, I am told that for Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk is 101% part of the planning. The player has already spoken with Andoni Iraola and speaks every day with Liverpool directors. The Reds have already lost a number of leaders; it is the same reason why they did not release Alisson for Juventus. Salah has left, Robertson has left: they are losing key pieces in the dressing room. Imagine losing van Dijk in the year a new coach arrives. I cannot bring myself to get Milan fans dreaming at this moment: it would be fantastic to have him in Italy, but as of today Liverpool are completely relaxed and calm."
