Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk is approaching the final year of his contract with the club.

 

The Dutch center-back has been a crucial figure during Liverpool’s successful run under former manager Jurgen Klopp. Van Dijk’s arrival had a transformative impact on the team, greatly improving their overall performance.

 

With his contract set to expire next year and no decision made on a renewal, Liverpool are planning for life without him. According to *Koolmedia*, the Premier League club has identified Sevilla’s Loïc Badé as a potential successor.

 

The 24-year-old French defender has a £50.6m (€60m) release clause, which Liverpool are reportedly prepared to trigger next year. However, they could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich for his signature.

 

Liverpool consider Badé a “serious option” to replace Van Dijk. Badé, who previously had a loan stint at Nottingham Forest without making an appearance, has impressed Arne Slot’s side with his solid performances and youthful promise.

 

He contributed to France’s silver medal at the Olympics by securing four clean sheets in five starts and played a key role in Sevilla’s Europa League triumph.

 

If Liverpool decide to pursue their interest, Badé will have the opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League after his unremarkable time at Nottingham Forest.

 

Replacing Van Dijk will be a difficult task, but the French defender will be eager to embrace the challenge and succeed in England.
