Van Dijk: I’d love Alisson Becker to stay but Liverpool will adapt if he goes’

Virgil van Dijk “would love” goalkeeper Alisson Becker to stay at Liverpool but insists the club will always adapt whenever they lose senior players.

Earlier this year Liverpool exercised the one-year extension option they had on the Brazil international’s contract, which was due to expire in the summer, but that has not stopped speculation linking him with Juventus.

“Listen, there is always going to be a day where you – including myself will go,” said Van Dijk. “But if it’s going to happen – and I have no idea about it and I don’t think at this point he has an idea about it – then we will, as a club, adapt to that.

“We have been through everything together, positive things and some negative things unfortunately as well, so it would definitely be a big blow and a miss but I don’t think, for me, it’s a good idea to think ahead about what could or could not happen.
