Along with Van Dijk, the La Liga giants are also hoping that they would somehow get Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to manage them. The same has been reported by news portal AS via Daily Star.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk agreed on a new deal with Liverpool earlier in the month and his new contract will expire only in June 2025. On the other hand, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have not had as good a start as they would have liked in their 2019 -20 season and are looking to get their campaign back on track by stitching together a few wins.
