Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has admitted he is uncertain about his future at the club beyond this season.
The Dutch defender is among three key players, alongside Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contracts expire at the end of the campaign, with no new agreements in place yet.
Van Dijk has played a crucial role in Liverpool’s title push, helping them build a 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League with just 10 matches remaining. He has been a consistent presence in the squad, featuring in every game for one of the league’s strongest defences.
Despite their impressive domestic form, Liverpool’s Champions League journey ended in disappointment on Tuesday, as they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in the round of 16.
“I have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment. Genuinely. I have no idea at the moment,” Van Dijk said post-match when asked about his future at Anfield.
“It is not on hold. Nothing on hold. There’s just … I keep saying the same thing.
“Listen, there are ten games to go, and that is my full focus. If there is news, you guys will know it. I don’t even know myself. Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes but that is about it.
“At the moment, I don’t even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face.”
Liverpool can clinch their first piece of silverware of the season this weekend when they face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. Van Dijk will hope to replicate his heroics from last year’s final, where he scored the winner in extra-time against Chelsea.
