<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/al-nassr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Al Nassr</a></strong> is aiming to build a <strong>more competitive roster</strong> for the 2024/25 campaign. This offseason, the <strong>Saudi Pro League</strong> club is working tirelessly to <strong>add more stars to pair with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong>. They are now poised to make a huge offer to <strong>acquire a top <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Premier League</a> player</strong>.</p>



<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-pro-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saudi Pro League</a></strong> has received a lot of attention recently. Last year, <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo </strong>decided to<strong> leave Europe</strong> and join Al Nassr, club that offered him a <strong>$200 million salary per year</strong> until the summer of <strong>2025</strong>.</p>



<p>However, Al Nassr is aware that Cristiano Ronaldo must be <strong>surrounded by other top players</strong> to achieve success. The club has been <strong>adding several stars</strong> since his arrival, and now they are set to add one more this summer.</p>



<h2>Virgil van Dijk offered contract by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr</h2>



<p>Al Nassr continues to attract top talent. The <strong>Saudi Arabian club</strong> is now targeting a <strong>top defender</strong>, making a <strong>highly attractive offer to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/virgil-van-dijk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virgil van Dijk</a></strong> that could pique his interest.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/portugal-al-nassr-star-cristiano-ronaldo-suggests-retirement-is-getting-closer"></div>


<p>According to Spanish outlet Marca, <strong>Al Nassr has already reached out to Virgil van Dijk’s agents</strong> to discuss a <strong>potential move</strong> this summer. The center back’s contract with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liverpool</a></strong> <strong>expires in the summer of </strong>2025.</p>



<p><strong>Van Dijk turns 33 next month</strong>, which is why Liverpool may be interested in parting ways with him <strong>before he becomes a free agent</strong>. According to Transfermarkt, <strong>Virgil van Dijk’s value is around $35 million</strong>.</p>



<p>The report indicates that <strong>Al Nassr has offered Virgil van Dijk a substantial contract</strong> that would <strong>make him the highest-paid defender</strong> in the world. The club aims to pair him in defense with <strong>Aymeric Laporte</strong> to build a <strong>formidable backline</strong> with <strong>Premier League experience.</strong></p>

<p>Since Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in 2023, Al Nassr has been <strong>adding several stars</strong> to build a remarkable roster. If <strong>Virgil van Dijk joins</strong>, he would <strong>reunite </strong>with <strong>former Liverpool teammate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sadio-mane" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sadio Mane</a></strong>, who signed with the Saudi Arabian club last summer.</p>



<h2>How much did Liverpool pay for Virgil van Dijk?</h2>



<p>Virgil van Dijk is widely regarded as <strong>one of the best center backs</strong> globally. He joined <strong>Liverpool in 2018</strong> at the request of <strong>then-coach Jurgen Klopp</strong>, who sought to strengthen the team’s defense.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/video-cristiano-ronaldo-scores-fantastic-goal-with-weak-foot-for-portugal-vs-ireland"></div>


<p><strong>Liverpool paid <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/southampton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Southampton</a> $90 million</strong> for Van Dijk’s transfer in 2018, having <strong>previously acquired him from Celtic for $18 million</strong>, thus making a clear profit from his subsequent sale to the Reds.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/virgil-van-dijk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virgil van Dijk</a> </strong>is Liverpool’s unsung leader, the team captain and winner of eight championships with the Reds. The former Celtic defender has been with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liverpool</a></strong> for seven seasons and has played 253 games and scored 23 goals.</p>



<p>So, to have the nerve to troll one of Jürgen Klopp’s best soldiers takes a lot of guts. But that is what two infamous teammates have done as Van Dijk has to put up with some taunting and trolling by this terrible duo.</p>



<p>Argentine<strong> Alexis Mac Allister and Liverpool scoring legend <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mohamed-salah" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mohamed Salah</a></strong> are the two teammates in question and have a particular way at getting under the skin of Virgil van Dijk.</p>

<p>According to Sports Bible, Virgil van Dijk has to hear Alexis Mac Allister use Lionel Messi’s infamous ‘Anda Pa Alla Bobo!’ phrase made famous by the Argentine’s post-match comments when Argentina had defeated the Netherlands.</p>

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240227#BUS#107736"></div>


<p>Lionel Messi had told TyC Sports in an interview that he regretted breaking his usual calm demeanor by saying what he had to the Dutch player. <em><strong>“I don’t like what I did… I don’t like the ‘keep moving’ and all that. But well, they are moments of huge tension and huge nervousness, and everything happens very fast.”</strong></em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/virgil-van-dijk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virgil van Dijk</a> </strong>has only 18 months remaining on his current <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liverpool" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liverpool</a> deal with the Dutch international staying silent on what his future will be now that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jurgen-klopp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jurgen Klopp</a> is set to leave the club.</p>



<p>According to The Sun, Van Dijk will study his options, going as far as stating <em>“I don’t know” </em>when it comes to the defender committing his future to The Reds past those two seasons.</p>



<p>The 32-year-old former Celtic defender has been with the club since 2018 and has played 246 games and scored 21 goals winning all 7 of Jurgen Klopp’s titles with the club.</p>



<h2>Virgil van Dijk comments on Liverpool future</h2>



<p>In speaking to reporters Van Dijk stated, <em>“The club will have a big job on their hands. To replace not only the manager but the whole staff, there are so many things that will change.</em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240126#BUS#100329"></div>


<p><em>“Obviously it will be the end of Jurgen Klopp’s era. I am very glad that I am still part of it. That is why I don’t like to speak about it. I am still part of it. That is my main focus, and we will see at the end of the season. Hopefully, we have the success that we all dream of and fight for each day and, by then, there will probably be more clarification for what the club wants for the future and then we will see.”</em></p>

<p>All three players have contracts until 2025 and could work their way out of their deals this summer. Liverpool will first have to find a new director of Football before hiring a new manager as <strong>Jörg Schmadtke</strong> will also leave the club at the end of the season.</p>

<p><em><strong>“I will not wear the One Love armband t</strong></em><strong><em>omorrow. We have chosen to wear the ‘UEFA Respect’ armband”</em></strong> were van Dijk’s comments on the matter. Van Dijk took the same stance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup after FIFA stated it would yellow card any captain that would do so during the tournament.<br></p>



<p>The Netherlands are assured at least a playoff spot as it looks like they will not finish in first place, but they need a big win against France to try and catch up. The Euro 2024 championship will be held in Germany from June 14- July 14, 2024.<br></p>



<h2>Virgil van Dijk on player schedules<br></h2>



<p>The Dutch captain also commented about the large playing schedule of players, <em>“In England we believe the schedules are too busy. The players are getting paid well but it should never come at the cost of our health”.</em><br></p>

<p>It’s been months since <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a></strong> won the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a></strong>, but <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>‘s success continues to make noise. <strong>Louis van Gaal</strong>, who coached the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/netherlands">Netherlands</a></strong> at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/qatar-2022">Qatar 2022</a></strong>, has recently thrown shade at La Albiceleste’s victory. <strong>Virgil van Dijk</strong> and his teammates, however, have made it clear they <strong>disagree with their former boss.</strong></p>



<p>The Dutch manager had already taken a shot at Messi before their quarterfinal game, which turned out to be arguably the <strong>most heated match</strong> of the entire tournament.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221209#CMS#0047"></div>


<p>Van Gaal’s comments didn’t sit well with Leo, who <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Lionel-Messi-explains-his-celebration-against-Louis-van-Gaal-Netherlands-20230130-0006.html">dedicated one of his goals</a> to the former Barcelona coach that night. Months later, van Gaal suggested that the World Cup <strong>was fixed</strong> for Messi to lift the trophy.</p>



<h2>What did Louis van Gaal say about Messi’s World Cup triumph with Argentina?</h2>



<p><em>“I don’t really want to say much about it. <strong>If you see how Argentina gets the goals and how we get the goals and how some of Argentina’s players crossed the line and weren’t punished, then I think it’s all preconceived game</strong>,</em>” van Gaal told Dutch outlet <em>NOS</em>. <em>“I mean everything I say by that. <strong>That Messi had to become world champion? I think so, yes.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221206#CMS#54"></div>


<h2>Virgil van Dijk, Dutch players react to van Gaal’s comments</h2>



<p><em>“I heard it this morning. He can say what he wants, it is of course his opinion. <strong>Everyone can have an opinion. But I don’t agree with him and I don’t share the same opinion</strong>,”</em> van Dijk said about van Gaal’s comments in an interview with NOS. “<em><strong>So you and the squad don’t stand behind his words?,”</strong></em> the journsalist asked, to which the Liverpool defender replied, “<strong><em>No</em></strong>.”</p>



<p>Goalkeeper <strong>Mark Flekken</strong> echoed van Dijk’s sentiments with the same outlet, <em>“We talked about Van Gaal’s comments regarding Messi this morning. <strong>If that’s his opinion, then he is allowed to share it. But personally I don’t agree with his opinion.”</strong></em></p>

<p><em>“<strong>I looked death in the eye – and it was a terrible experience,</strong>” van Dijk said, viaThe Mirror.</em> The Dutch defender, who was playing for <strong>Groningen</strong> by then, was admitted to hospital suffering fromaccute appendicitis, which led to <strong>peritonitis</strong> and <strong>uraemia</strong>, akidney infection— a combination that could prove fatal for many patients.</p>

<p>In fact, doctorstold van Dijk’s mother Ruby that his son only managed to pull through thanks to his incredible fitness levels. But van Dijk had to go through extremely difficult days, in which he <strong>fearedso much for his life that he even wrote a will.</strong></p>
<p><em>“My mother and I were both praying to God and, to be honest, we were discussing various scenarios,”</em> he said.<em> “<strong>At one point, I had to sign these documents.</strong></em><em><strong>It was a will.

Virgil van Dijk: Dutch star once 'looked death in the eye', even wrote his will - Bolavip US

<p>During the last years, <strong>Virgil van Dijk</strong> has established himself as probably the best defender in the world. In fact, the Dutch playerfinished second in the voting process for the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/ballon-dor-2022-trophy-weight-size-material-and-value-20221016-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>2019 Ballon d’Or</strong></a> which was won by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/stats-that-prove-barcelona-miss-lionel-messi-20221027-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a>. In the next <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/world-cup-2022-simulator" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FIFA World Cup</strong></a> in Qatar, he will be the leader for the <strong>Netherlands</strong> and one of the stars to follow.</p>
<p>After his arrival from <strong>Southampton</strong> in 2018, <strong>Virgil van Dijk</strong> has become a cornerstone of Jurgen Klopp’s project with <strong>Liverpool</strong>. The titles speak for themselves: <strong>2018-2019 Champions League</strong>, 2019-2020 Premier League, 2019 UEFA Super Cup, 2019 FIFA Club World Cup and 2022 FA Community Shield among many others.</p>
<p>Considering his extraordinary 2018-2019 season, Virgil van Dijk won the <strong>UEFA</strong> and <strong>Premier League Player of the Year Awards</strong> and three times he’s been named to the Team of the Year in the Premier League: 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2021-2022. All these achievements were rewarded by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/tottenham-forward-son-heung-min-linked-to-liverpool-other-betrayals-in-soccer-20221025-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a> </strong>with a spectacular contract.</p>
<h2>Virgil van Dijk’s contract with Liverpool: How much he makes per hour, day, week, monthand year?</h2>
<p><strong>Virgil van Dijk</strong> joined <strong>Liverpool </strong>after an almost $80 milliontransfer from <strong>Southampton</strong> on 2018. His first contract with the Reds was set to end on June 2023, but, on August 2021, the defender got an extension until 2025 based on his remarkable performances for the team.</p>
<p>That contract was very special for him, because it came after his knee injury on October 2020 which left him out for nine months. ‘I am looking forward to what the future brings together with Liverpool. I’m delighted, very happy and proud’, said the defender about that sign of confidence from the club.</p>
<p>Virgil van Dijk signed that new <strong>four-year/$53 million</strong> contract and, after that agreement, the annual salary for the Dutch player is <strong>$13.2 million</strong>. The defender makes <strong>$1.1 million</strong> per month, <strong>$276k</strong> per week, <strong>$39k</strong>per day and almost <strong>$1.6k</strong>per hour.</p>

Virgil van Dijk's salary at Liverpool: How much he makes per hour, day, week, month and year

Virgil van Dijk's salary at Liverpool: How much he makes per hour, day, week, month and year - Bolavip US

<p>The beginning of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/premier-league-fixtures-2022-23-tv-schedule-dates-and-teams-20220803-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2022-23 Premier League</strong></a> has been more complicated than predicted for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-does-mohamed-salahs-liverpool-deal-compares-to-lionel-messi-kylian-mbappes-salaries-20220701-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liverpool</strong></a>. Far from getting off to a strong start, the Reds had to settle with <strong>picking up only two points in the first two games</strong> of the season.</p>
<p>Following a 2-2 draw at <strong>Fulham</strong>, <strong>Jurgen Klopp</strong>‘s side found itself trailing for much of the <strong>Crystal Palace</strong> game at <strong>Anfield</strong>on Monday. After 57 minutes, things got even more complicated for the hosts as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/darwin-nunez-liverpool-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-and-year-20220615-0050.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darwin Nunez</a> saw the red card.</strong></p>
<p>The Uruguayan striker, who made his way to Merseyside for $82m <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/darwin-nunez-s-profile-age-height-private-life-and-position-20220615-0030.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this summer</a>, lost his cool and <strong>headbutted Joachim Andersen</strong>. Though the Reds later tied the game, <strong>Virgil van Dijk was not pleased at all</strong> with his teammate’s reaction.</p>
<h2>Virgil van Dijk says Darwin Nunez has to ‘control himself’</h2>
<p><em>“<strong>Obviously he was disappointed and also probably with himself but it’s a learning curve and obviously we will always back him</strong>,” </em>van Dijk said, via <em>The Sun</em>. <em>“<strong>He’s got the backing from us and he knows it should not happen again and hopefully it will be that way.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“He has to control himself, definitely. I think that’s a separate thing. He has to manage himself, he has to be knowing that these things can happen, especially in the Premier League.</strong> It will be a learning curve for him and hopefully it will never happen again.”</em></p>
<p>Despite being down to 10 men, the Reds managed to tie the game through a fantastic goal from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/luis-diaz-s-profile-age-salary-market-value-and-position-20220409-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luis Diaz</strong></a>. Van Dijk took pride in the way his team bounced back after the red card, but still made it clear that what Nunez did <strong>cannot happen again</strong>.</p>
<p><em>“<strong>I think with 10 men we played outstanding</strong>,” </em>van Dijk added. “<em>We put them under pressure. Obviously we took a lot of risks because we had to score the equaliser and were hoping to get the winner. <strong>But (playing with 10 men) should not happen. Obviously we’re disappointed to draw and not get the win</strong>, for sure.”</em></p>
<p>Up next for Liverpool is a trip to Old Trafford to take on lifelong rivals <strong>Manchester United</strong>, who haven’t started their campaign strongly either, losing the first two games of the season. Therefore, the upcoming derby is <strong>a must-win for both sides</strong>.</p>

<p>In March, the 39-year-old <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/zlatan--ibrahimovic-t29087" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zlatan Ibrahimovic</a> returned from international retirement to assist the Swedish national team to overcome Georgia in a World Cup 2022 Qualifiers. He was expected to be among the first people called up for the Euro team this summer. However, he suffered a knee injury in the second half of Milan’s 3-0 thrashing of Juventus and has been ruled out of the competition.</p>
<h2>Virgil Van Dijk and Donny van de Beek (The Netherlands)</h2>

<p>In October 2020, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/virgil-van-dijk-t147793" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virgil van Dijk</a> had suffered anterior crucial ligament damage that forced him to miss the rest of the season with Liverpool. Van Dijk withdrew from the European Championship in May to finish the final phase of his rehabilitation process during the off-season. He acknowledged his displeasure but stated that he had come to terms with his decision.</p>
<p>Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek was also obliged to withdraw from the Netherlands’ squadfor the European Championship. The 24-year-old battled for an ailment in the groin and had to give up on his dream ofparticipatingand representing his nation at the big event.</p>
<h2>Marc-Andre ter Stegenand Marco Reus (Germany)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p>The Barcelona goalkeeper will also miss the Euros due to a knee injury suffered last week. He had knee surgery, which kepthim out of the last game of the season as well as the entire Euro championship.Marco Reus, The Borussia Dortmund attacker withdrew after a rigorous season.</p>
<h2>Sergio Ramos andAnsu Fati (Spain)</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210610_BUS_171839_sergio_ramos_xleftx_and_ansu_fati_xrightx_of_spain__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_3176d42e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Sergio Ramos (left) and Ansu Fati (right) of Spain.

<p></p></div>
<p>While this comes as a surprise, it really shouldn’t be giventhe Ramos’ injury-plaguedseason. Due to a succession of injuries, knocks, and COVID-19-related pause, he has only played 90 minutes three times and made one league start with Real Madrid this calendar year. Spain, aiming for its first major prize since the Euros in 2012, will miss Ramos’ experience, leadership, and big-game mindset. In his absence, La Roja’s four tournament-selected centre-backs have a total of 21 caps between them.</p>
<p>Spain’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ansu-fati-t144000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ansu Fati</a> will be another talent we won’tsee in the championship. Fati, who maintains the record for Spain’s younger goal scorer, willmiss the action because of the knee damage he received late last year.The Barcelona teenager was on track to have a fantastic season for both club and country until suffering a knee injury. The Spanish international had his first operation in November and was scheduled to return to training in January. However, he is still recovering from surgery.</p>

<p>The athletic, powerful, boisterous, and full of ambition <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/erling-haaland-t178262" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a> will be primarily tasked with ensuring Norway’s qualification to the high-profile tournaments. However, he will be unable to compete in Euro 2020 because his country failed to qualify for the tournament this year.</p>
<p>Haaland was not even born the last time Norway competed in a major international competition, and the 20-year-old now leads his country’s dreams. He will have to wait to play at a major tournament, with the World Cup 2022 coming up, hoping that he helps Norway to qualify this time.</p>
<h2>Ivan Rakitic (Croatia)</h2>

<h2>Virgil van Dijk-Jordan Pickford: What really happened</h2>
<p>Liverpool were attacking deep with manyplayers in their opponents’penalty area when Van Dijk received an accurate cross down the right flank.In wasaround the sixth minute when Everton goalkeeper JordanPickford stepped up and made ahostilechallenge on the Dutch international.</p>
<p>The VAR room noticed the tackle and referee Michael Oliver opted to check the episode himself.Since it wasdeterminedthatVanDijkwasoffside, <strong>VAR and the referee refusedtoinvestigatePickford’sfoul for a possible red card for the dangerous tackle.</strong></p>
<p>Thus,Jordan Pickford escaped unpunished for hisclumsy intervention. To make matters worse for theReds, Klopp’s side failed to win as they were held 2-2 by Carlo Ancelotti’s men.</p>
