Van Dijk negotiating future; hints at top club move

express.co.uk

Virgil van Dijk is currently in talks with Liverpool about his future as his contract is set to expire at the end of June. The 33-year-old defender is hopeful for an update soon and does not yet know where he will play next season. Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman has hinted that if Van Dijk leaves Liverpool, he will not move to a club in Saudi Arabia. Koeman believes Van Dijk will either remain at Liverpool or join another club at a similar level. Recently, Van Dijk rallied his Liverpool teammates after their loss in the Carabao Cup final and their exit from the Champions League. Despite recent struggles, Liverpool is still leading the Premier League race, holding a 12-point advantage over Arsenal. To secure the title, Liverpool needs to win five of their last nine games. Arsenal must win all their matches and overcome a 13-goal difference. The upcoming matches for Liverpool will be crucial, starting with a game against Everton on April 2. Van Dijk emphasizes the importance of hard work, stating the team must remain focused and ready to face challenges ahead. He believes that if they can win five matches, they will become champions again.
