Virgil van Dijk admits it would be a ‘big blow’ if Alisson left Liverpool.
The Brazil international’s future at Anfield remains clouded in uncertainty despite the club activating a one-year extension in his contract in March.
Juventus have emerged as potential suitors for the Reds’ first-choice goalkeeper, who has experience in Serie A from his time with Roma.
Alisson’s potential departure would be the third high-profile exit from the Premier League champions’ defence in the space of the past 12 months.
Trent Alexander-Arnold left for Real Madrid last summer while fellow full-back Andy Robertson has already confirmed this season will be his last at the club.
“Listen, there is always going to be a day where you – including myself – will go,” said Van Dijk.
“But if it’s going to happen – and I have no idea about it and I don’t think at this point he has an idea about it – then we will, as a club, adapt to that.
“We have been through everything together, positive things and some negative things unfortunately as well.
“So it would definitely be a big blow and a miss but I don’t think, for me, it’s a good idea to think ahead about what could or could not happen.
“He’s very important for me as one of the leaders in the team and I think he is very important on the pitch because I think he is one of the best – in my opinion the best – goalkeeper in the world.
“He’s trying to be back as soon as possible to help us for the last four games and that’s our main focus.
“Whatever happens after that is not something you should ask me. Would I love him to stay? Of course, there’s no about that.
“Everyone can feel a certain way about it. There are rumours but if there is anything concrete then we will all find out but for me I’m never worried.”
