Liverpool’s transfer activity has somewhat quelled since the signing of Victor Munoz<\/a> last month. Andoni Iraola’s<\/a> side moved quickly to secure the Spanish winger from Osasuna for \u00a334.5million.<\/p>\n Defender Jeremy Jacquet has also officially joined the Reds<\/a>, after signing in January from Rennes for a deal worth around \u00a360m but they’ve been quiet in recent weeks. Since the start of the transfer window, talk has centred around targets such as Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n Diomande has dealt Liverpool<\/a> their first blow after supposedly electing to join Paris Saint-Germain <\/a>instead. Today’s news sees another potential target supposedly choose Liverpool’s Premier League rivals, Arsenal, instead. Elsewhere, a shocking development around Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk<\/a> has surfaced.<\/p>\n Van Dijk transfer question emerges<\/p>\n Liverpool are willing to sell Virgil van Dijk in the summer transfer window, according to reports from TEAMtalk<\/a>. The Reds captain has become one of the best defenders in modern history after making a \u00a375m move from Southampton<\/a> in January 2018.<\/p>\n The Dutchman is out of contract at Liverpool in the summer of 2027 and there have been growing rumours that clubs in Turkey<\/a>, such as Galatasaray, are interested in his signature. The outlet claims that, while Liverpool are not actively looking to sell the centre-back, they are ‘open to offers’ for the player, who will turn 35 this month.<\/p>\n FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FB PAGE! Latest Reds news and more on our dedicated Facebook page<\/a><\/p>\n It states that Van Dijk and Liverpool \u2018are prepared to evaluate any serious offer on its merits before making a decision\u2019 and says the club no longer see their captain as ‘untouchable.’ However, new Reds boss Iraola is not pushing for the defender’s exit.<\/p>\n Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is reportedly a transfer target for Galatasaray this summer.(Image: 2026 James Gill – Danehouse)<\/p>\n TEAMtalk has also reported that former Manchester United<\/a> manager Ruben Amorim has made Van Dijk a primary target for his new club, Milan. The Dutch international has been a transformative signing at Anfield.<\/p>\n He has helped Liverpool win two Premier League<\/a> titles, the Champions League<\/a> in 2019, and many other domestic trophies. Van Dijk has also played in two other European Cup finals with the Reds, losing both to Real Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another blow for Liverpool<\/p>\n Liverpool’s chances of landing Bradley Barcola may have been hit, with the player reportedly favouring a move to Arsenal<\/a>. The Daily Mail\u2019s Lewis Steele claims the Reds are simply not seen as glamorous a proposition this year as last when they were Premier League champions.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Anfield Index podcast<\/a>, Steele said: \u201cI do think he probably will end up leaving PSG<\/a>. He\u2019s got a decision to make and he might prefer Arsenal. He\u2019s probably looking at [Mikel] Arteta, and he might want to live in the capital city of London.\u201d<\/p>\n Bradley Barcola has been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Patrick Smith – FIFA\/FIFA via Getty Images))<\/p>\n The reporter added that Liverpool have carried out groundwork on Barcola, but, as with Diomande, that may still not land them the winger.<\/p>\n PSG are said to be eager to keep Barcola, with a price tag of around \u00a3116m reportedly set. Steele added that the European champions will be able to demand even more money should France<\/a> go on to win the World Cup, a prospect that looks likely at present.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be very, very hard for Liverpool to get Barcola,\u201d admitting that the Reds have lost out on their top targets so far.<\/p>\n Join our LFC WhatsApp community<\/a> and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
