Virgil van Dijk has been in fine form for Liverpool as they remain unbeaten in all competitions under Andoni Iraola.
The Liverpool captain has also been an indispensable asset for Xavi and the Netherlands, starting each of their four games during the international break.
In terms of his Anfield future, Van Dijk’s current deal expires next summer.
And despite showing no signs of slowing down, he could well leave the club as contract extension talks aren’t ongoing.
And now, if reports are to be believed, Galatasaray are plotting an ambitious move for him.

Fotomac report that the Turkish giants have identified the veteran defender as their top defensive target.
The article also mentions the potential impact of Ilkay Gundogan, who is also represented by Van Dijk’s agency ROOF.
Gundogan’s uncle supposedly works for the agency as well, which is believed to give them an advantage in any potential negotiations.
However, Van Dijk has always prioritised staying at Liverpool over the course of his iconic Anfield career so far.
If he carries on in the same vein, there is no reason why the Reds wouldn’t extend his deal, considering he is also the club captain.
Ultimately, Van Dijk still has a lot to give, so talks of a potential departure shouldn’t even be entertained this summer.
