Liverpool: Van Dijk opens door to departure, contract expires in June

Virgil van Dijk does not close the door to a departure from Liverpool as his contract approaches expiration. According to Foot Mercato, the 35-year-old Dutch centre-back has still not reached an agreement with the Reds. According to Voetbal International, he will play at least until next summer, but his future beyond that remains uncertain. He says he is not worried about it, reports the Dutch media.

A tense contractual situation

Under contract with Liverpool until next June according to all sources, Virgil van Dijk has not yet extended his commitment. Maxifoot specifies that the player has played 10 Premier League matches this season. The former player does not seem particularly worried, stresses Foot Mercato, which evokes an open door to a departure.

The media versions

The three media agree on the deadline: the contract expires next June. They differ however on the tone. Voetbal International seems more optimistic, quoting the player who is not worried about his future at Liverpool. Foot Mercato, on the contrary, describes a more open situation, speaking of a possible separation. Maxifoot, on its side, maintains the blur, without giving a clear trend.

What next?

No media gives a deadline for a decision. The file does not mention discussions with other clubs nor a proposal for an extension. The player and the club seem to be waiting, according to available information.
