"Kinda understandable how / why Koeman being linked so much with Depay and Wijnaldum. But Virgil Van Dijk is the guy he knows who he really needs now. Wouldnt be easy but makes huge sense, from this angle anyways," The Athletic's Dermot Corrigan has said via Twitter.
"Guess I knew Liverpool fans would reply to the last tweet by saying its "impossible" for VVD to even think about joining Barca. But I'd not be so sure / history suggests otherwise," he explained.
For about two years already, Virgil van Dijk arguably remains the world's greatest defender. Last year, he came short of Leo Messi in the Ballon d'Or rankings after missing out on just 7 votes.
The 29-year-old was a regular starter for Ronald Koeman's side as well, helping the Oranje reach the Nations League final in 2019.
