After several reports and news of a possible historic deal that was expected to unleash storms of reactions, Dutchman Virgil van Dyck settled his decision regarding his future with Liverpool.
Van Dyck, crowned months ago as the best player in Europe, and who has been widely reported about a “brewing” deal on his move to Juventus, is now inclined, according to the Spanish newspaper AS, to not leave the Premier League and his club Liverpool.
Italian press reports indicated that the Dutch defense center is the goal of Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri in the next summer transfer market, and even determined that the Italian giant has allocated 150 million pounds (about 195 million dollars) to include the Dutch defense giant.
However, the British newspaper “Express” revealed Van Dyke’s intentions and stated that he had no intention of leaving Anfield at the present time, according to AS.
The former Southampton defender joined Liverpool in January 2018 for 76.19 million pounds (about 98 million dollars), meaning that his value doubled by 100% in two years.
It is noteworthy that in 2019 Van Dyck was crowned the Best Player in Europe by UEFA, the first defender to win.
Liverpool is following in confident footsteps to win the Premier League title after an absence of 30 years, after crowning the Champions League last season, while Juventus is competing to keep the Italian League title for the ninth season in a row.
