Van Dijk at Milan: dream or gamble? The pros and cons of the Dutch giant
The Rossoneri club evaluates the farewell of the Liverpool defender. Leadership and world-class quality against a dizzying salary and 34 years of age.

The Dutch defender, European champion with Liverpool and Champions League finalist, would bring world-class leadership and defensive quality to Milan, elements that the Rossoneri club is looking for to return to competitiveness in Europe.
