    Just copped Mane isn't there either. Bizarre.

    Alisson
    Cancelo De Ligt Van Dijk Robertson
    De Jong Fabinho Bernardo Silva
    Messi Ronaldo Mane
    That'd be my team.

    The consistency of Van Dijk in the EPL.

    Ranked 7th, 12th, 17th, 5th and 7th best player in his 5 seasons so far. Just out of centre-backs he was ranked 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st.

    The only centre-backs who finished above him were Otamendi by 0.06 points and Mustafi by 0.03 points. Maybe unlucky as it was season where he only had 14 and 21 games so may have been a lot of easier games he never played and otherwise would be number 1 every season.

    He was also ranked the number 1 centre-back in the 2016/17 Europa League with Southampton.

    Then when you think of him in the CL with Liverpool, first 2 seasons he reached the final and still in it this year.

    Could go down as one of the best ever, when it’s all said and done.

    Since he moved to a "Top 5 League", only Messi has been in the XI more than him. Messi is the only player in it every season, Van Dijk and Ronaldo have been in it 3/5, De Bruyne, Pogba, Pereira and Neymar 2/5 and other players have only been in it once.

    Liverpool are preparing to offer Virgil van Dijk a stunning new deal worth more than £50million, Football Insiderunderstands.

    The defender, 28, signed a five-and-a-half year agreement when he joined from Southampton for an initial £70million in January 2018.

    A Liverpool source has told Football Insider that the club are keen to tie the Dutch colossus further down as they prepare for talks over an improved contract ahead of the summer.

    The fresh terms will give him a major hike on the £125,000-a-week basic salary he secured two years ago.

    Sources explained Liverpool are set to offer Van Dijk a new five-year contract worth upwards of £150,000-a-week in addition to bonuses that could potentially take it beyond £50m across its entirety.


    The centre-back’s current deal is bolstered by various lucrative top-ups, including a £6m bonus on signing, a further £5m loyalty bonus and then a £4m bonus when he has played 150 Liverpool matches.

    In addition, Van Dijk is incentivised for goals and the team’s clean sheets in competitive matches.

    Owners Fenway Sports Group regard it as a priority to extend the contract of someone they regard as instrumental in Liverpool’s dominance of English and European football.


    Van Dijk has had an astonishing impact since his arrival, with his debut season ending with the PFA player of the year award.

    He has played every minute of this season’s remarkable, record-breaking Premier League campaign, in which Liverpool have won all but one of their 25 matches.

    No bad if you can get it.

    Think only Real Madrid could tempt him away from there.
