Virgil van Dijk has spoken about his own future amid growing concerns over his Liverpool contract.

The Reds have enjoyed a stellar start to the 24/25 campaign as they currently sit top in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Since taking over from Jurgen Klopp, Dutchman Arne Slot has only tasted defeat once, a shock 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at Anfield.

However, despite Liverpool being in the hunt for all four trophies, fans are beginning to become more and more worried about the future of some of their star players.

As things stand, Van Dijk, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are set to walk away from Anfield for free if a new deal cannot be agreed.

What has Virgil van Dijk said about his future?

Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Boxing Day clash against Leicester City, Reds skipper Van Dijk spoke about his desire to keep playing at the top level.

He told The Times: "I love the club, the club loves me. I love the fans, the fans love me and it is a very good foundation to be successful.

"In my opinion I can play for another three, four years at least at the highest level. We will see what the future brings."

Van Dijk also stated he would love to become the first Dutch player to lift the Premier League title as captain.

The 33-year-old added: "It’s not about me but I would love to be the first one [Dutch player]. I think it is there. That is what we work for as a team."

Meanwhile, Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has dropped a major update on both Van Dijk and Salah's contract situations, stating that both players are 'very likely' to stay put at Anfield.

He said to GiveMeSport: "I think the focus at Liverpool seems to be the players that are there at the moment, Salah, Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

"Until there is concrete signatures on a piece of paper or not, then they will continue to be talked about, because they'll be entering the final six months. They can talk to clubs outside the Premier League come January."

Sheth continued: "It looks very likely at the moment, that Salah and Van Dijk will stay. I'm not saying Alexander-Arnold won't stay. It's just that his one hasn't been made as public as Salah and Van Dijk."
