Virgil van Dijk gives massive update on his future amid Liverpool exit speculation

Virgil van Dijk has given a huge update on his future amid Liverpool exit rumours.

Last week, it was confirmed that Jurgen Klopp is stepping down as Liverpool manager at the end of the 23/24 season.

Since the news broke, it was reported that three key players could follow the German out of Anfield.

Earlier this week, Van Dijk raised eyebrows when he said he doesn’t know if he will be part of Liverpool’s new era when the German is no longer the manager.

However, the current Reds skipper has clarified his recent comments.

Speaking to Men In Blazers, Van Dijk said: “It’s much taken out of context. To be 100 per cent clear, I’m fully committed to the club. I love the club, I love the fans. It is fully taken out of context.

“It’s not about me, it’s not about I, it’s about us and nothing has changed. Five days ago we weren’t even talking about my contract, so it’s a bit silly but my full focus is on making sure this year can be a very special year.”

He continued: “Obviously, big announcement the last couple of days. It’s been a shock to each one of us connected to the club.

“And I feel exactly what the fans have been feeling at the exact moment and we mean business here you know.

“We want to crack on, we want to achieve things that we dreamed of at the start of the season and don’t get it twisted I’m fully committed to the club and I love it and I love each and every second, I’m the captain and we’re going to go for it all and let’s see how that goes.”

Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s match against Chelsea, Klopp also touched on rumours about his players’ future.

He said: “The club knew about my departure for a while. Why tie the players down and then I say I'm not here anymore? You don't do business like that.

“They want to know a little bit more, that is absolutely normal. Things need time. People at home, don't worry. It's fine. The boys love this place. I know that for a fact.”
