Van Dijk is Liverpool's main defender. Saudi League will be popular because of another top player like van Dijk. More players will join the Saudi league, as teams offer big salaries for them. Some of these players prefer to stay in Europe.
It is unlikely that Van Dijk will join the Saudi Professional League. Some situations have occurred as a result of the rumors around Van Djik.
- Al Nassr claimed to have spoken with Van Dijk's representative about his move to the Saudi Pro League team (al Nassr). So far, there has not been a confirmation from Van Dijk's side.
- Liverpool has claimed that they have not yet been approached by al Nassr.
Liverpool's claim makes sense. Van Dijk's contract expires June 30, 2025. It makes obvious that Liverpool should be the first party approached by Al Nassr. It is due to Van Dijk's release clause, which must be paid by the team that searched for Van Dijk's services.
