PSG Should Double Think Making €100M High Stakes Investment in Liverpool Star
Paris Saint-Germain have prioritized signing young, promising talent in recent transfer windows, but both Luis Enrique and Luis Campos recognize the value of adding experienced players—as long as they fit the club’s culture and system.
One area PSG could look to reinforce is defense, especially with Milan Skriniar expected to leave permanently this summer after his winter move to Fenerbahçe.
Rather than spending big on a marquee signing, PSG might explore a short-term deal with a familiar opponent. Virgil van Dijk is nearing the end of his contract, and reports suggest he’s on PSG’s radar.
According to Anfield Watch, PSG are preparing an €80 million offer over two years for Liverpool’s captain, with an option for a third season. A sizable signing bonus could push the total value to €100 million.
Should PSG make a push to sign Virgil van Dijk?
Amid the rumors linking Van Dijk to PSG, CBS Sports’ Jonathan Johnson weighed in on whether this move is a smart one to make for the Parisians.
“So I do think that suddenly looking at defensive options makes a lot more sense,”Johnson said on the latest episode of PSG Talking. “But when you dive deeper and look at Virgil van Dijk, if you’re talking about upgrading Marquinhos with Van Dijk, it’s really difficult to make a solid case for it.
“One, because of the money you’d have to offer to make the move happen, and two, when you consider his age, it doesn’t necessarily make sense for PSG to spend that much on an older player. Still a class act, don’t get me wrong, but maybe not at the right stage in his career to truly add something to PSG’s arsenal.”
David Ornstein of The Athletic previously reported that everyone involved is downplaying the possibility of Van Dijk moving to PSG, adding that Liverpool are confident he will sign an extension.
More recently, ESPN’s Julien Laurens echoed that sentiment, stating that a deal isn’t close—despite a video surfacing last week of the Liverpool captain with PSG sporting advisor Luis Campos.
