Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is reportedly contemplating his future at Anfield, with clubs across Europe expressing interest in the Dutch defender.
Having been a standout player for years, van Dijk has solidified his status as a Liverpool icon since his arrival from Southampton in 2018.
Under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance, van Dijk has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s success, featuring in 267 matches for the club.
Klopp’s departure at the end of the season has left van Dijk disheartened, prompting him to reassess his own future with the Reds.
Although his current contract runs until 2025, van Dijk is in no hurry to extend it. Incoming Liverpool manager Arne Slot views securing van Dijk’s future as a top priority, given the potential consequences if he doesn’t commit to a new deal.
Should van Dijk become available, several European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, are keen on acquiring him. However, Liverpool is keen to retain the 32-year-old, given his continued importance to the team.
Slot is expected to work towards securing van Dijk’s long-term commitment to Liverpool, ensuring that the club retains its defensive stalwart for the foreseeable future.
