Liverpool could be forced to replace Virgil van Dijk this summer if he does not agree a new contract with the club.

According to reports, Liverpool are among the clubs in the race to sign Ajax starlet Jorrel Hato and a £40m bid ‘would be accepted’. The 19-year-old has shone for Eredivisie giants Ajax over the past couple of seasons as he’s emerged as one of the best young defenders in Europe.

The Netherlands manager doesn't expect Virgil van Dijk to move away from Europe's major leagues this summer, even if his future at Liverpool remains uncertain given his contract situation.
