Virgil van Dijk recently updated fans on his future at Liverpool, confirming that he has made “progress” in contract talks with the club.
In an interview with Mail Sport, the Reds captain laughed when asked about his contract situation. He assured everyone that discussions are ongoing.
“There is progress, yeah,” Van Dijk said. When asked for more details, he smiled and added, “I don’t know, we’ll see.”
According to Mail Sport, Van Dijk mentioned that the talks are “internal discussions” and emphasized his love for the club and its supporters. He thanked them for their unwavering support, especially after the recent match against Fulham.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Van Dijk remains focused on helping Liverpool win the Premier League title. The team currently holds an 11-point lead, but the captain made it clear that they must keep pushing.
The futures of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also uncertain, with both players’ contracts expiring soon. However, Van Dijk is more likely to stay than Alexander-Arnold, who has an offer from Real Madrid.
Van Dijk’s key contributions this season have been vital, and manager Arne Slot has expressed his desire for the captain to stay at Liverpool.
In their recent 3-2 loss to Fulham, Liverpool struggled in the first half. Still, Van Dijk believes they can secure the title if they stay focused.
“We all know as players (that nothing is won yet), I’ve mentioned it every week to you guys, but what is important is that there are seven games left,” he said. The team must keep their focus and fight for the title.
