Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has reportedly reached his breaking point over the club’s plans to sell a key player. Sources say the Dutch defender, usually known for his composure, confronted senior executives with a fiery warning: if the board proceeds with the transfer, he is prepared to relinquish the captaincy and leave Anfield entirely.
In the confrontation, which reportedly escalated from the dressing room to the boardroom, Van Dijk made his position unmistakably clear. “As captain, it is my duty to protect my teammates,” he said. “If the club goes ahead with this sale, I will step down as captain and quit. Enough is enough—we cannot keep losing top talent cheaply just to fund short-term moves.”
The defender’s outburst has sent shockwaves through the squad and among fans, who are now concerned that Liverpool could be heading into a turbulent period if the board continues with its plans.
