Virgil van Dijk and his glitzy spouse went shopping in New York while the center back enjoyed the American warmth.

The defender was seen walking around the streets with partner Rike Nooitgedagt, holding bags from high-end Spanish apparel company Balenciaga. 

After an intense six months at Liverpool, Van Dijk looked at ease in a navy t-shirt and shorts as he enjoyed some well-earned time off. 

After completing a £75 million transfer from Southampton to Liverpool in the January transfer window, the 26-year-old became the most expensive defender in the world. 

Van Dijk has been a part of Liverpool’s journey to the Champions League final since joining Anfield.

At Kiev’s Olympic Stadium, Van Dijk got the game started, but he was unable to lead his team to victory as they fell 3-1, with goalie Loris Karius heavily to blame for two of the goals. 

After placing third in their group and falling short of a play-off position to Sweden due to goal differential, Holland was unable to qualify for Russia.

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Van Dijk’s club, has also been enjoying his vacation. In Ibiza, he was seen smoking a cigarette with his wife Ulla Sandrock. 

With the versatile Brazilian talent Fabinho has signed with Monaco, Klopp has been busy assembling his team for the upcoming year.
