Virgil van Dijk has claimed that former Liverpool youngster Rafael Camacho will be a major success in the future, despite leaving Merseyside for more first-team opportunities at Sporting CP.
Liverpool were desperate to keep the young Portuguese star at Anfield, but after rejecting a number of contract offers, the club reluctantly agreed to allow him to return home on a permanent basis.
Now, Van Dijk, who played a key role in Liverpool's Champions League success last season, has backed Camacho to enjoy a successful career, just weeks after he sealed his £7m move back to his boyhood club.
