He wasn´t in his best version last season, the worst news that Liverpool FC gives to Van Dijk

Virgil Van Dijk has been one of the great pillars of Liverpool FC in recent seasons, but certainly in the 2022/23 campaign, the Dutchman has not been at his best. Faced with this, Liverpool FC is starting to see variants in the defensive backline, which has ceased to be its great strength and therefore, would give a not very good news to the defender from the Netherlands.

Among the objectives that Liverpool has set for the current summer market is to strengthen the axis of the backline. The Reds want to boost an area that, this season, has not finished offering the desired performance by his coach, the German Jürgen Klopp.

In principle, the great desire of the English team is Joško Gvardiol, but after noting that his price has soared above 100 million euros, the board has decided to turn its eyes to a defender who would be much more affordable, Micky van de Ven. The Dutchman, 22 years old, has completed a remarkable season with Wolfsburg (36 official games, one goal and two assists).

How much would van de Ven cost Liverpool FC?

The bid for the player from Wormer would be endorsed by Jörg Schmadtke, who has been the new sporting director of the club for a few weeks now. The German manager was the one who brought the center-back to his current team in 2021, in exchange for just over €3.5 million. Now, according to WAZ, the cost of the player would be around €40 million.
