AC Milan are considering a move for Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk this summer and it is ‘fascinating’ him.
There has been a lot said about Milan and their interest in various defenders so far this summer. However, the van Dijk links have emerged recently and it seems it would be a dream addition to the squad.

With that said, though, dreams can come true and the Rossoneri are making a case to change it from a dream to a potential opportunity.
Indeed, an offer is currently being considered, and the formula could be expensive but worthwhile for a defender who still remains among the elites.
Van Dijk possibility
Carlo Pellegatti spoke about the matter on his YouTube channel, via MilanNews, and the potential structure of the deal was looked at. More importantly, the player’s thought on a move to San Siro was looked at…
“Van Dijk is willing to talk to Milan about a possible transfer. The player is willing to discuss, talk, he’s intrigued by the possibility. As for the salary, he earns €13 million a year; Milan would spread it like this: they would give him €6-7 million for three years and then guarantee the player until 2029, so he’ll earn more.
“I don’t think anyone will give him €13 million next year. So this is Van Dijk’s situation regarding his salary. Milan would also be willing to pay €30 or €40 million for a player whose contract expires next year.”
It would be a major signing if the Diavolo were able to add van Dijk to the squad and it certainly seems like it could be less of a dream and more of a possibility now.
“Milan would also be willing to pay €30 or €40 million for a player whose contract expires next year.”
What??
If he’s interested, I’m sure they can take less. And he’s 34. Not exactly spring chicken
As a matter of fact, he’ll turn 35 in 6 days…
Crazy that they’d be willing to pay 40M for a 35 year old expiring in one year, but no way to paying 30M for Silva, who is 22, and expiring next year. The more thing change, the more they stay the same.
Yep exactly. And that’s 30-40m in his final year of contract. No one’s is going to offer him a very high salary at this stage of his career. That being said, he would great for experience and mentality. One per department would be good
Actually, it’s not 13M€ per year but 11M€ (and 2M€ bonuses IF…). But still 2x as much as he could earn in Milan. But like the article said, he’s not getting 13M€ anywhere anymore. Except in Saudi-Arabia.
Oh come on. Even if there were any truth in this (there isn’t), it would be like the days just before Il Senatori retired and we had a squad with the same average age of a nursing home.
€30 or €40 million Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Kostić?….are u know that Kostić coudnt score goal in serbian JSL…? And he cost us 5 mil…8 mil…
Then we buy portugal bench player for 70mil!!!….
For just 8 mil on Kostić transfer equal price milan could sign Milošević from partizan or stittgart….he score 16 goals and guy is good attack solution. 70 mil?….I will use for Vlahovic Who can score 15 in blind eyes….and there will be much money rest. Leao out…diomande in. For van dijk i will put 1+1….6 mil…+2 bonuses if we play CL next year. That leave him space to choose if we fail again.
Covece, malog Kostica bih poslao na pozajmicu, zar nije jasno sta sam napisao? Covek je Milanov igrac. I nije bas da nije mogao da da gol cak ni u nasoj ligi, 11 golova je postigao, a u prvoj polusezoni je bio rezerva.
Pellegatti should stick to commentary.
As a Liverpool fan, I can tell you that VvD earns £18.5M per year. That’s approx €20M.
If Inter and AC clubbed together you still couldn’t afford his wages.
Stop deluding yourselves, and he’s passed it anyway.
One: this is fake news
Two: as a Milan fan, kindly shut up
Good
I think you are talking about gross salary
As a Liverpool fan you should know you’re talking about gross salaries when in Italy they talk about net.
Scalvini
Thank you
Go get Gila
It seems that interest in Gila disappeared with Tare’s departure! It’s a shame, his arrival would have been worth spending 30 million.
expensive version of Kjaer kind of transfer,
Demiral is younger, cheaper, serie A veteran
No to van dijk, yes to demiral? Id take a 40 yr old van dijk over prime demiral any day.
Van dijk is still the best coffee in the world and if you pair him with someone like Inacio our defense would be fantastic
Pay so much?! Stupid idea
Seems to be too many roadblocks to a deal.
