Virgil van Dijk fires out at 'liars' as he makes blunt revelation about Liverpool's future. Virgil van Dijk's Liverpool contract is set to expire in June, and he has provided an update on his negotiations with the club.
Virgil van Dijk insists that he does not know if he will be at Liverpool next season, and that anyone who says otherwise is lying. Van Dijk said his representatives are still in talks with Liverpool as the weeks pass until his current contract expires on June 30. When asked if he will still be at Anfield to lead the Reds out next season, the captain claims he has no idea what will happen.
Liverpool are also in touch negotiations with top scorer Mohamed Salah and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are both set to become free agents in the summer. Salah wants longer contracts and higher pay than Liverpool has so far offered, while Alexander-Arnold is largely anticipated to join Real Madrid, who had a cheeky £20 million bid for the England star rejected in January.
The ongoing stalemate in talks has encouraged conjecture that van Dijk has secretly agreed to stay with Liverpool, and that both sides are hesitating to go public in order to protect the negotiations with Salah and Alexander-Arnold. Van Dijk, 33, dismisses this, insisting that his emphasis is on winning the Carabao Cup and securing the title in Liverpool's final ten games.
When asked if he will return next season for another shot at the Champions League after Liverpool's penalty shootout loss to Paris St Germain, the Netherlands centre-back replied, "I have no idea.
"I have no idea at the moment. I honestly have no idea at the moment. There are no talks or anything else on hold. I keep saying the same things. Listen, there are 10 games left, and that is my entire concentration." You will be notified if there is any news. I don't even recognise myself. Everyone is aware that some exchanges go place behind the scenes, but that is all. "At the present, I have no idea what will happen next year. "If anyone claims to know, they are lying to your face."
