Rhino: Agencies – Real Madrid are targeting two Liverpool players for next summer, according to English press reports on Monday. The contracts of Liverpool’s trio, Egyptian Mohamed Salah, Dutchman Virgil van Dijk and English international Trent Alexander-Arnold, expire at the end of the current season. None of the three players have reached any agreement to extend their stay at Anfield.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Real Madrid are looking to sign Van Dijk, in addition to Arnold. In a report, it indicated that Real Madrid has identified Van Dijk to include him in the summer, in light of the injuries that follow their Austrian defenders David Alaba and Brazilian Eder Militão.
The report explained that Liverpool may allow Van Dijk’s departure, in light of its interest in signing Aiden Haven, Arsenal’s young defender. Haven is a target for Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea. According to the report, Haven is undecided whether to sign a professional contract with Arsenal or move to one of the other top clubs.
