AC Milan's ambitious plans to elevate their profile could potentially include a move for Virgil van Dijk in the future. Despite seeming unlikely this summer, the Rossoneri's interest in the Dutch defender remains. Gerry Cardinale, the club's owner, has a clear desire to bring van Dijk to Milan, with the player reportedly open to the idea. Van Dijk's impressive performances in the Premier League have not gone unnoticed.

The club has already invested €100 million this summer, with several targets still to be achieved. The current squad boasts talented players like Christian Pulisic, Goncalo Ramos, Mike Maignan, and Luka Modric. Van Dijk's addition would undoubtedly strengthen the team, and his physical fitness level is considered superior to some of his peers.

Gazzetta dello Sport's English correspondent Davide Chinellato expressed optimism about a potential future move, highlighting van Dijk's openness to joining Milan. The defender still has a lot to offer, and Cardinale's enthusiasm for the signing is clear.

While a summer transfer seems unlikely, Milan's interest in van Dijk could resurface in the future.
