Virgil van Dijk confirmed he is in “discussions with the right people” regarding his Liverpool future, as his contract enters its final months. The Dutch defender, along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, faces an uncertain future, with their deals expiring at the end of the season. Van Dijk has hinted at ongoing talks for a potential extension, assuring fans that decisions will be made in due time. “When it’s time to make a decision, I think the media will know it as well,” he said, emphasizing his current commitment to Liverpool’s success.
The 33-year-old center-back remains crucial to the Reds’ defense, which has managed five clean sheets in eight Premier League games this season. Liverpool’s latest 2-1 victory over Chelsea has propelled them to the top of the league, marking seven wins from eight matches. The team’s early success under new manager Arne Slot has reignited hopes of a title challenge, despite pre-season predictions favoring Manchester City and Arsenal.
Van Dijk remains focused on each game, dismissing outside opinions on title contenders. “Everyone can have their opinion, but opinions change quickly. I focus on one game at a time,” he said. With Liverpool in strong form, Van Dijk aims to bring trophies to Anfield, acknowledging the challenges but determined to “give it a very good go.”
