I think someone like Van Dijk is an investment we need to make. Quality, young centre back who has a bit of pace.

McAuley is 35 and will need a long-term replacement and Olsson is ageing and declining pretty rapidly.

Personally I'd let Olsson go and sign someone in the Van Dijk mould. Lescott, Van Dijk, McAuley and Dawson would be a solid 4 centre backs to rely on.
