José Félix Díaz Announces the Truth About Van Dijk and His Negotiation With Real Madrid

Real Madrid would be interested in signing a center-back, but one of the footballers not in the plans of the white team is Virgil Van Dijk. According to Marca, and specifically José Félix Díaz, the white club wouldn't be interested in acquiring the services of the Dutch center-back.

Despite being mentioned every season, there has never been anything between the Liverpool footballer and the Madrid team. It is true that his level is world-class, but the age and the transfer policy carried out by the Madrid entity do not align with the operation. They also consider that Liverpool would ask for a lot of money for a player over 30 years old.

Case Similar to Kimmich

It is a very similar case to Kimmich, where this week it has also been known that Real Madrid has ruled out attempting his signing. Despite being a proven footballer in the elite, who has won absolutely everything with Bayern, Kimmich is over the 30-year-old mark. Real Madrid's midfield is quite well covered with young footballers with a lot of present and future.

Van Dijk and Real Madrid, an Impossible Love

In the case of the Liverpool center-back, Real Madrid is looking for a much younger defender like William Saliba, for example. In the Champions League match against Liverpool, Van Dijk was asked in the mixed zone about the possibility of his signing for Real Madrid.

The Liverpool player himself replied that it was a very direct question, but that he was only focused on Liverpool, thus closing the debate.

For several years and with Van Dijk's emergence in European soccer, the center-back was compared numerous times with Sergio Ramos. His great stature, his ball-playing ability, and his dueling skills make him one of the best center-backs in the world. One of the toughest center-backs to beat for forwards, but he is not in the plans of the Madrid entity.

Recently, Carlo Ancelotti said that many players people didn't think were crazy about signing for Madrid. However, the reality is that with Rüdiger and the emergence of Asencio, the positions are well covered at least this season.
