LIVERPOOL CAPTAIN VIRGIL VAN DIJK UNCERTAIN WITH FUTURE
The Liverpool captain is one of three Reds stars with an expiring contract as doubts swirl over the futures of Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold
Virgil van Dijk admits he has no idea what his future holds as his contract talks with Liverpool continue.
The Liverpool captain’s current deal – like those of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold – expires at the end of the season and he has been discussing an extension with the club.
But Liverpool risk losing a £75m signing on a free transfer with Van Dijk able to arrange a summer move to foreign clubs from January and the centre-back unsure whether he will remain at Anfield.
He said: “I can say obviously discussions are ongoing, but I don’t know, we will see what happens in the future. My very full focus is on Liverpool, wanting to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else. What the future will bring I have no idea at the moment. I can only tell you that discussions have been started up and we will see.”
Van Dijk turns 34 in July but has been in fine form, prompting thoughts he could play on at a high level for several years.
Speaking after Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Chelsea, he added: “I feel very good, physically, mentally and I am having fun. What the future brings I have no idea at the moment, but discussions are ongoing with the right people and when it’s time to make a decision or whatever, I think you guys will know it as well. But now full commitment and focus is on Liverpool and to be successful this season. So we will see.”

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk could be hit with an additional one-game suspension for his reaction to being sent off during his side's 2-1 win at Newcastle on Sunday, sources have told ESPN.
The Liverpool captain was shown a red card by referee John Brooks for a foul on Newcastle forward Alexander Isak for what was deemed by the official to be a denial of a goal-scoring opportunity.
Van Dijk protested the decision and remained on the pitch while the incident was reviewed by the VAR team.
