Liverpool Ready to Sell Star Once Considered 'Untouchable' in Major U-Turn

Liverpool Ready to Sell Star Once Considered 'Untouchable' in Major U-Turn Liverpool are reportedly open to selling one of their key stars in the summer transfer window, despite him being previously labelled as untouchable. The Reds are preparing to enter a new era in the 26-27 season as they deal with life without Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson. Liverpool have been told to make a 'big proposal' to land the man Andoni Iraola really wants According to a report from Team Talk, Liverpool have made a U-turn on their stance on selling Virgil van Dijk in the summer transfer window. It's claimed that the Reds did regard the Dutch international as untouchable, but they are now prepared to consider any serious offers for Van Dijk over the coming weeks and months. Liverpool reportedly regret handing Van Dijk a new £350,000-a-week deal back in 2025 and can now look to offload him in the summer transfer window if an offer arrives at the table. AC Milan have opened talks to secure his signature through intermediaries, while Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also interested. Even forgetting about Van Dijk's football ability, offloading him in the summer transfer window would be a huge mistake for the Merseyside club.

List of Liverpool's greatest ever provides transfer encouragement in huge summer - Liverpool Echo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk On Sunday night, Liverpool FC will officially unveil the player voted by their worldwide fanbase as the greatest in the club's history. Wingers are being prioritised, a right-back is needed and the club are believed to be taken an 'opportunistic' approach to the centre-back market, having signed 20-year-old Jeremy Jacquet this week at £60m. A Salah-shaped hole on the right side of the attack needs filling this summer and additional attackers may also form part of the thinking as the club look to go in a new direction with the front-footed and aggressive football preferred by head coach Andoni Iraola.
