Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool club captain, has revealed that the club has not yet offered him a new contract, despite his current deal expiring at the end of the 2024-25 season. Alongside Van Dijk, two other key players, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, are also in the final year of their contracts.
Following Liverpool's 4-1 preseason victory against Sevilla at Anfield, Van Dijk stated, 'There is no change at the minute.' The Dutch defender expressed hope for reinforcements to arrive, emphasizing the need for new signings to bolster the squad for the upcoming season.
Despite a quiet summer transfer window for Liverpool since the appointment of Arne Slot as manager, Van Dijk remains optimistic about the club's efforts behind the scenes. He trusts that the club will make the right decisions to ensure a competitive squad capable of challenging in all competitions.
'I think they are working very hard behind the scenes,' Van Dijk said. 'We will see how that pans out.' The defender's focus remains on having faith in the club's decision-making process and preparing for the challenges ahead.
As Liverpool fans eagerly await potential new signings and contract negotiations for key players, the club's supporters will be monitoring developments closely as the new season approaches.
