Virgil van Dijk turned 32 on Saturday and he celebrated in grand fashion alongside DJ Calvin Harris in Ibiza – a 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day bash he won’t soon forget.

Liverpool’s linchpin in defence is now the fourth-oldest member of Jurgen Klopp‘s squad, but he will be the first to tell you he has plenty of years left in his legs.

After an inconsistent season, like the majority of his Liverpool team-mates, Van Dijk has seized the opportunity the summer break provided and days before returning for pre-season, he had one final celebration.

It included Ibiza, Kevin De Bruyne and an invitation to the stage during Calvin Harris’ set – as ways to celebrate 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day No. 32, you could ask for few better.

The Dutchman was visibly delighted and overwhelmed by his introduction onto the stage on Friday night, saying it was “crazy” – and you can’t blame him.

The Liverpool 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.

The celebration of Van Dijk’s birthday coincides with his return to the preseason on Tuesday, where he will be reunited with his international teammates following an additional three days off.

The Liverpool No. 4 will first go through a battery of fitness assessments, which will include the lactate test, before the team concentrates on their training camp with Germany.
