Four Virgil van Dijk replacements Liverpool can sign including £50m ace after AC Milan prepare lucrative offer
Liverpool are planning for Virgil van Dijk's eventual exit from Anfield, with AC Milan emerging as serious contenders to sign the Dutch stalwart.
Across an incredible nine years on Merseyside, Van Dijk has become one of the best defenders in the world and helped the Reds win every trophy, including the Champions League, two Premier League titles, two Carabao Cups and an FA Cup.
The 35-year-old has been an incredible servant, but with his contract expiring in June 2027, there is a chance he could depart the club on a free transfer next summer. According to MilanNews24, AC Milan have identified Van Dijk as the main target to improve their defence, with Milan’s owner, Gerry Cardinale, leading their pursuit.
The Rossoneri, led by former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, are reportedly willing to offer the Liverpool legend a two-year contract worth €8-10million per year. So, with a potentially lucrative offer heading his way, SPORTbible have analysed four players who could replace him.
It's nearly impossible for Liverpool to replace the success and quality Van Dijk has helped bring to the Reds for almost a decade, but Brighton's Luka Vuskovic is someone arguably capable of following in his footsteps.
The Seagulls only signed the 19-year-old from Tottenham Hotspur for £50million this summer, though the teenager has already established himself as one of the most promising players in England's top flight, combining aerial dominance, composure on the ball and physical presence to demonstrate his qualities as a complete defender.
Liverpool are said to be among the clubs 'seriously interested' in signing Vuskovic – whose contract at the AMEX Stadium expires in 2031 – and he would form an incredible partnership with Jeremy Jacquet in the middle of Andoni Iraola's defence.
Although Brighton are 'under no pressure to sell' the Croatian international – as per TEAMtalk – successfully capturing an all-round defensive monster would be a fitting successor to Van Dijk's throne.
Like Vuskovic, Tarik Muharemovic is playing his first campaign of Premier League football after joining Leeds United from Sassuolo for £34.1million, and he already looks like he's been turning out in England's top-flight for a decade.
For a Leeds side sitting 12th with 11 points from nine games, the 6'4" Bosnian stalwart has been an integral player for Daniel Farke, demonstrating his physical strength, aerial qualities and ball-playing abilities at the back.
Liverpool will need someone physically imposing and excellent in possession to replace Van Dijk, and Muharemovic possesses both attributes in abundance, making him an ideal replacement for Van Dijk.
In fact, TEAMtalk claimed last month that the Reds are 'keeping tabs' on the 23-year-old's development ahead of next summer, and stepping up to one of Europe's biggest clubs would be a natural stepping stone in his career.
When Liverpool sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for £35million in July 2025, there was a sense that the Reds had made a mistake by offloading the England international prematurely.
Quansah has since developed into one of Europe's most promising ball-playing centre-backs, and Liverpool retain a buy-back clause worth €70million (£59.3m) that can be activated up until June 15, 2027.
For that reason, the Reds may choose to trigger it next summer and bring their academy graduate home. The 23-year-old has made 56 appearances and scored six goals since joining Leverkusen last year, while starring in European competition.
The fact that he knows the club inside out, is rated highly by Van Dijk, and can offer versatility at right-back means a transfer next summer or beyond cannot be ruled out.
Quansah isn't the only Bundesliga star the Reds could consider on their short list of top-class defenders, with Nico Schlotterbeck becoming a contender to succeed Van Dijk.
The Borussia Dortmund star is reportedly a 'leading target' to join the club, as per Caught Offside, and the German international would bring some sought-after qualities to their back line.
An aggressive, left-footed, front-foot defender who excels in aerial duels and playing out from the back, Schlotterbeck would instantly slot in superbly on the left side of defence after becoming one of the best centre-backs in the world.
Schlotterbeck, 27, has appeared 169 times for Dortmund and sees his contract at Signal Iduna Park expire in June 2031.

Wamatangi Reveals What He Wants to Complete Before Seeking Re-Election
The governor made the declaration during a development tour of Thika Constituency, where he inspected ongoing infrastructure projects and commissioned new public facilities.
His visit covered the construction of Makongeni Level Three Hospital, drainage works in Salama and Kisii estates in Kamenu Ward, and the commissioning of solar-powered streetlights in Umoja area, Hospital Ward.
Wamatangi reiterated that he intends to fulfil the commitments he made to Kiambu residents during the 2022 election campaigns before turning his attention to re-election politics.
Hospital construction among projects inspected
One of the key stops during the governor's tour was the construction site of Makongeni Level Three Hospital.
The project is part of the county's efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure and improve residents' access to medical services.
Wamatangi also inspected drainage works in Salama and Kisii estates, where the ongoing interventions are expected to improve stormwater management.
Effective drainage infrastructure is particularly important in residential neighbourhoods because it helps control flooding, protect properties and improve sanitation.
The inspection provided an opportunity for the governor to assess the progress of projects intended to address some of the everyday challenges facing residents.
Umoja receives solar-powered streetlights
The governor also commissioned solar-powered streetlights in Umoja area, Hospital Ward.
The installation is expected to improve visibility at night, enhance security and support businesses operating beyond normal working hours.
Solar-powered lighting is among the infrastructure interventions Kiambu County has been pursuing through its Angaza Kiambu initiative.
Wamatangi puts development ahead of re-election campaigns
Beyond the project inspections, Wamatangi used the tour to reaffirm his position on the approaching election season.
He maintained that his priority was to honour the promises he made in 2022 before engaging residents in campaigns seeking another mandate.
His position places emphasis on service delivery and the need for elected leaders to demonstrate what they have accomplished during their time in office.
The declaration also comes as political discussions surrounding the 2027 gubernatorial contest continue to take shape in Kiambu County.
Wamatangi has previously maintained that he would rather concentrate on completing development projects than participate in premature political confrontations.
For residents, the ultimate measure of his administration will be the progress made in healthcare, infrastructure, drainage and other essential services.
As the next election approaches, the governor's development record is likely to become an important part of the debate over whether he deserves another term.
His latest message is therefore clear: he wants his work in office to speak before he asks voters to renew his mandate.

Cetirizine: Why women experience dryness after taking the drug
The government is pushing for the introduction of a medicine traceability system to monitor cetirizine from suppliers and distributors to patients following a viral social media craze that has raised concerns about possible misuse.
The proposed system is expected to strengthen the monitoring of pharmaceutical products by allowing authorities to follow their movement throughout the supply chain, from manufacturers and importers to pharmacies and final consumers.
Cetirizine is an antihistamine commonly used to relieve allergy symptoms, including sneezing, itching, a runny nose and watery eyes. The medicine has recently attracted widespread attention online, with social media users sharing content that has sparked conversations about its effects and uses.
However, the growing popularity of the drug has raised concerns about individuals potentially using it for purposes beyond its intended medical application.
Through the proposed traceability framework, authorities would be able to establish where medicines originate, who supplies them, where they are distributed and how they reach patients.

“Let This Fool Listen and Understand?” Kioni Breaks Silence With a Message to Opposition Leader
Kioni's remarks have added a new twist to the growing disagreements among opposition figures seeking to unite ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a statement shared on November 3, Kioni declared that every Kenyan has an equal right to participate in politics without being intimidated or treated as less important.
He stated, “Let it be known: no one owns the opposition, no one owns a region, and no Kenyan is more Kenyan than another.”
He further maintained that political leaders should allow others to choose their parties, express their opinions and campaign according to their preferred styles.
His remarks appeared to target Gachagua, who has recently challenged fellow opposition leaders to become more active in mobilising voters instead of relying on political meetings and media appearances.
The former Deputy President has insisted that anyone seeking the presidency must demonstrate their ability to attract support from across the country.
His position has, however, attracted criticism from leaders who feel that opposition politics should be guided by mutual respect rather than instructions from individual politicians.
Kioni also questioned the kind of leadership that demands respect without showing the same consideration to others.
He argued that leadership should involve listening, persuasion and building trust instead of declaring oneself the gatekeeper of a community.
He further reminded his political colleagues that Kenya belongs to everyone and should not become a platform for personal ambitions.
The exchange comes at a sensitive moment as opposition leaders attempt to agree on a common strategy and presidential candidate to challenge President William Ruto in 2027.
With different parties and influential figures seeking a place in the emerging political arrangement, Kioni's message raises an important question about who gets to shape the opposition's direction and whether its leaders can put their differences aside.
