Virgil van Dijk Celebrates 32nd Birthday with Calvin Harris in Ibiza
Virgil van Dijk celebrated his 32nd birthday in grand fashion, partying alongside DJ Calvin Harris in Ibiza. The Liverpool linchpin defender is now the fourth-oldest member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, but he’s determined to show he still has plenty of years left in his legs.
The summer break provided the perfect opportunity for Van Dijk to enjoy one final celebration before returning for pre-season. His birthday bash included Kevin De Bruyne and an invitation to the stage during Calvin Harris’ set – a memorable way to mark the occasion.
Van Dijk was visibly delighted and overwhelmed by his introduction onto the stage on Friday night, saying it was “crazy”. Liverpool’s squad have formed quite the bond with Harris since he acted as DJ for the trophy parade in 2022, with Harvey Elliott also pictured with him during the summer.
Returning for Pre-Season
Van Dijk’s birthday celebrations come just days before his return for pre-season on Tuesday. He will be joined by his fellow international team-mates after being given an extra three days off. Liverpool’s No. 4 will first undergo a number of fitness tests, including the lactate test, before the squad turn their attention to their Germany training camp.
From Tuesday on, Klopp should be without only Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott after their U21 Euro triumph and the manager will have 33 days before he takes his team to Stamford Bridge for the league opener.
Van Dijk’s Future at Liverpool
Van Dijk has been a key player for Liverpool since joining from Southampton in 2018, helping the Reds to Champions League and Premier League glory. He was also named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year in 2019, and is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in world football.
The Dutchman has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing him. However, Van Dijk has insisted he is happy at Liverpool and has no plans to leave anytime soon.
He recently signed a new long-term contract with the club, and is determined to help them win more trophies in the coming years.
