Van Dijk: Liverpool’s Must-Have Rockstar…
In a twist more surprising than a last-minute penalty, former Liverpool star Didi Hamann believes the Reds should focus on keeping Virgil van Dijk instead of Mohamed Salah this summer. With Real Madrid seemingly gearing up to woo Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool has more tangled contracts than a bowl of spaghetti to sort out. Both Van Dijk and Salah need to sign on the dotted line, and with Ibrahima Konate’s contract ticking down, sporting director Richard Hughes might want to keep his phone on charge.
Hamann, shouting louder than a stadium announcer, insists Van Dijk is Liverpool’s main man. “Without him, the defense is about as solid as jelly,” Hamann commented during his Card Player interview. Liverpool has its work cut out; losing Van Dijk is akin to a football field without goalposts. While rumors swirl about who wants more money or who’s demanding a golden throne, the Reds need to sort their priorities before the transfer window slams shut.
Liverpool.com, always ready with a quirky take, suggests losing either Salah or Van Dijk would be like trying to play football without a ball. Both players want to keep kicking goals at Anfield for as long as possible. After all, who needs sleep when you can have transfer drama instead?
