Virgil Van Dijk: What Happens Next for Liverpool Captain?
- Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said he is "not in any panic" regarding his future, with his current contract at Anfield expiring in June 2027. Negotiations over a renewal are expected to begin in the coming weeks.
- The 35-year-old Dutchman has withdrawn from the Netherlands' squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Germany following a minor knock since last month's defeat to Manchester City.
- Despite his age, Van Dijk has played every minute for the Reds this season, forming a strong defensive pairing with new signing Jeremy Jacquet. Last year, the defender became the oldest outfield player to play every minute of a campaign.
- Liverpool are likely to offer an extension as the club remains short in defence following Ibrahima Konate's move to Real Madrid, while Giovanni Leoni is sidelined with an ACL injury and Joe Gomez faces ongoing fitness concerns.
- Van Dijk remains eager to continue his career, stating he would "go somewhere else" if no offer is forthcoming. "I want to keep playing and continue what I'm doing so let's see what the season brings," he told reporters.
