Virgil van Dijk seems unlikely to join AC Milan this summer, but that is not to say that he won’t join in the future…
It is clear that Milan are looking to raise their profile. Whilst Rafael Leao will leave this summer, they still have stars present at the club and Gerry Cardinale wants to keep this theme going.

Already, the Rossoneri have spent €100 million this summer and it seems that there will be no slowing down with several targets still left to be achieved. However, they will join a base squad full of talent and stars.
Indeed, when you look at Christian Pulisic, Goncalo Ramos, Mike Maignan and Luka Modric, you’re looking at a group of impressive names.
Van Dijk to Milan… eventually?
The latest addition planned was van Dijk, but he will not be allowed to leave Liverpool just yet. Nevertheless, that has not stopped the Diavolo’s interest, as Gazzetta dello Sport’s English correspondent Davide Chinellato told Carlo Pellegatti’s YouTube channel, via MilanNews.
“It’s clear that van Dijk would do extremely well at AC Milan. He’s a more physically fit player than Modric: last season he was one of the best, if not the best, in the Premier League. We’re talking about a player who still has a lot to give. Cardinale’s desire to bring him to Milan is clear: the player’s openness gives us hope.”
