As the center back enjoyed the American sunlight, Virgil van Dijk and his glitzy wife went shopping in New York on Friday.

Virgil van Dijk was joined by partner Rike Nooitgedagt as they were pictured strolling through the streets carrying bags from luxury Spanish clothing brand Balenciaga. 

The defender was seen walking the streets with bags from the high-end Spanish apparel brand Balenciaga, accompanied by partner Rike Nooitgedagt.

After a hectic six months at Liverpool, Van Dijk appeared at ease in a navy t-shirt and shorts as he enjoyed some well-earned downtime.

The 26-year-old’s £75 million move from Southampton to Liverpool during the January transfer window made him the most expensive defender in the world.

Van Dijk has been instrumental in Liverpool’s journey to the Champions League final since joining Anfield, where they ultimately lost to Real Madrid.

At Kiev’s Olympic Stadium, Van Dijk started the match but was unable to lead his team to victory as they lost 3-1, with goalie Loris Karius heavily culpable for two goals.
