Galatasaray, accelerating its transfer efforts ahead of the new season, has re-engaged with Virgil van Dijk, who has been on their agenda for some time. The yellow-reds will make an official offer to Liverpool the moment van Dijk says "Yes" to them.
Aiming to strengthen its squad with 3-4 pinpoint transfers before the new season, Galatasaray has turned its attention to a giant name despite the difficulties posed by the foreign player rule. The yellow-red management has taken action once again for the world-renowned Dutch center-back Virgil van Dijk, who has been on their agenda for a long time.
WANTING TO SECURE THE SIGNATURE BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT ENDS
In previous meetings, the 34-year-old experienced defender had pointed to the period after the World Cup to discuss the transfer. However, eager to move quickly, the Galatasaray management aims to successfully conclude this transfer operation without waiting for the tournament to finish.
WILL SIT AT THE TABLE THE MOMENT HE SAYS "YES"
If a positive response comes from the Dutch star, yellow-red officials will start official negotiations with Liverpool club without delay. The management's main plan is to form the center of defense with the Van Dijk - Davinson Sanchez duo for the 2026-2027 season. With this massive move, national player Abdülkerim Bardakcı will also be included in the rotation, and Galatasaray will gain tremendous depth in the defensive line ahead of the Champions League.
