Al Hilal Offer 20M Euro Salary To Van Dijk: Saudi Pro League defending champions Al Hilal have approached Liverpool and Netherlands star defender Virgil Van Dijk with an offer of 20 million euros/year. This offer might mean that the end of Van Dijk’s time with the Reds is on the horizon.
The 33-year-old defender needs no introduction. For about a decade now, he has been one of the best footballers in Europe and the world. Having signed with Liverpool in 2018, he was instrumental in the team winning their first Premier League title in decades and their first UEFA Champions League in 15 years.
His sheer quality and world-class performances have been recognised. Van Dijk is a former UEFA Men’s Player of the Year, a PFA Player of the Year, and has made the Premier League, UEFA, and FIFA World 11s on multiple occasions.
With an uncanny mixture of speed, strength, and defensive-mindedness, the Dutch centre-back has also made 78 appearances for his national team and is even the captain of the Oranje.

Now, at the age of 33, his physicality has surely taken a hit. However, in the 2024-25 season, it seems Van Dijk has rolled back the clock, as he is currently captaining Liverpool to be the favourite to win the Premier League. Currently, in the first place, the Anfield-based team is miles ahead of every other team in the PL race. Virgil also captained the team to the top of the UCL league table before the team was knocked out in the Round of 16.
However, it now seems that the Liverpool captain might not have a future at the club. Following the UCL Round of 16 loss to PSG, Van Dijk suggested that he is not sure of his future at this club, saying,
“I still have no idea at the moment. Genuinely. At the moment, I don’t even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face. Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes, but that is about it.”

Amid all the speculation, Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal has swooped in with a bid that is difficult to refuse. Seeing that Van Dijk’s contract with his current club expires at the end of this season, the Saudi side directly approached the player with an offered salary of 20 million euros/year, nearly double his current wage at Liverpool.
The defending Saudi Pro League champions have recently released their star player Neymar and have a spot for an international superstar on their side.
It remains a mystery whether Virgil Van Dijk will sign a contract extension with Liverpool, sign a lucrative contract with Al Hilal, or go another way altogether.
