The center-back played for a Liverpool squad that finished fifth in the English Premier League and was unable to advance to the Champions League.
The club's protracted injury crisis, which lasted for significant portions of the season, served as more evidence of a lack of squad investment; however, Liverpool now seems to have learned from their mistakes after recently signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
Van Dijk has been keeping an eye on events at his club despite being on duty with the Netherlands national team and preparing for an upcoming Nations League semi-final against Croatia before taking a well-deserved rest.
When questioned about Liverpool's midfield acquisition, the seasoned defender gushed over World Cup champion Mac Allister of Argentina.
In his native country, Van Dijk told reporters, "I think he's a very good player."
We've played against him frequently, even once when Holland and Argentina were opponents.
He continued, "I think he will definitely be a big addition and something we need to get back where we all want to be."
The 31-year-old is regarded as a leader within the Reds camp, and Jurgen Klopp had a defensive crisis on his hands last season as a result of his absence in pivotal games.
Liverpool conceded 21 more goals (47) than they did during their 2021–22 season (26) while suffering nine defeats at the hands of the opponent.
The eventual winners Manchester City, who went on to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and winners League, finally finished 22 points ahead of them.
Van Dijk wants to see Liverpool get back to the title-challenging level that the team has been accustomed to under Klopp, but he has cautioned that further new additions are required.
Van Dijk said, "So it's a good start to the window; hopefully we get a couple more quality additions."
But he's unquestionably one of the players who, with any luck, can help us in the upcoming years.
