Van Dijk's talk over his new contract on Liverpool gets some troubles. It makes me curious what's happened between him and his team behind the scene. Even the latest news is telling us how his agent is offering him once again to the Real Madrid.
It seems the talk about his contract extension is not going well. however, will Real Madrid welcome to the old player like him? He's good, but old enough. I hope his problem gets solved asap.
It will be a bad news if they let him leave as free agent.
He is 33 years old, what Real, is this a joke? According to leaks, even the extension of Rudeger (who is 32) could happen as a big exception in view of his great merits to the club. Real Madrid have a very strict policy and Van Dijk doesn't have a single chance, even as a free agent.
The fact that players are running away from Liverpool (and for free) is very funny. Doesn't the club's management see a problem in this?
But the very strict policy as you say doesn't apply all the time, does it? Modric is still playing there and they had other players above their 30s thatgot their contracts extended in the past. In my opinion, if a transfer like this would be made by Real Madrid, they would only give short term contracts and have some backup idea in their minds because they don't want to run into problems when they have a situation like Carvajal and Alaba being injured during the most important time of the season.
However, I doubt Van Dijk would be ok with signing a short term contract with any club now. He probably wants a two year contract at least, if not a three year contract and neither Liverpool nor any other top club would be willing to give him that contract and I understand that.
For Van Dijk being a free agent is the best that could happen to him. Any fees for signing a new contract go straight to him as Liverpool wouldn't have to be paid a penny.
