Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has reportedly voiced his concerns in the dressing room after the confirmed exit of striker Darwin Nuñez. While acknowledging the quality and effort of the current squad, Van Dijk is said to have stressed that the team still needs reinforcements if they are to compete at the highest level this season.
The Dutch defender is understood to have told his teammates that replacing Nuñez’s presence up front will be crucial, not just in terms of goals, but also in maintaining depth and competition for places. His remarks highlight the urgency for Liverpool’s board to act quickly in the transfer market and secure signings capable of making an immediate impact.
With the season already underway, the call from the captain adds more pressure on the club’s recruitment team to deliver before the window closes.
