Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has given a huge update on his contract situation.

Heading into the 24/25 season, there was a huge cloud over Van Dijk’s future as his contract is set to expire at the end of the campaign.

In addition, fellow Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold will also walk away for free if the club fail to agree on new terms with them.

On Sunday, Van Dijk captained Liverpool to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Chelsea as the Reds continue their fine start to life under new boss Arne Slot.

As reported by The Athletic, the 33-year-old Dutchman has now spoken about his own future.

He said: “I can say obviously discussions are ongoing, but I don’t know, we will see what happens in the future.

“My 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 and we will see.”

Van Dijk added: “I feel very good, physically, mentally and I am having fun. Discussions are ongoing with the right people and when it’s time to make a decision or whatever, I think you guys (the media) will know it as well. But now my full commitment and focus is on Liverpool and to be successful this season.

“My own form is fine. I will let others do the talking. I don’t want to talk about myself. It is not me who is not conceding, it is all of us who are not conceding.”

Liverpool are about to enter a crucial period with tough games against the likes of RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton, Bayer Leverkusen and Aston Villa fast approaching.

On the upcoming fixtures, the Liverpool skipper said: “It’s a very tough run of games and also what makes it difficult is we travel a lot, it’s about staying fit, keeping the rhythm, I’m looking forward to it.

“This is what you want to do. You want to play on the highest level against the best teams and perform and show what you can do. So let’s go for it. I want to be successful. I want to win trophies in every competition we’re in.”
