Liverpool have opened talks with a centre-back to replace Virgil van Dijk at Anfield, should the Dutchman depart the club this transfer window.
With Van Dijk's contract set to expire in less than 12 months, clubs in Saudi Arabia have started testing the water over a proposed transfer. Van Dijk is reportedly interested in departing Liverpool this summer, too, with the Reds placing a £46.4m transfer fee on him.
