Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are all following the playerâs situation.

Van Dijk to stay at Liverpool?
There is a general feeling that Van Dijk will ultimately sign a new contract with Liverpool, who he joined in 2018.
This is not necessarily the case with the Redsâ two other major stars who are set for free agency when their deals run out in the summer.
