Virgil van Dijk drops Liverpool future hint after contract update - 'Let's see'

Van Dijk says he is relaxed about his contract situation and has not yet held detailed talks with Liverpool, but is open to extending his stay at Anfield.

Virgil van Dijk addressed his Liverpool contract status after Sunday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, saying he remains unconcerned despite being in the final year of his deal. The 35-year-old captain, who signed a two-year extension in April 2025, stated that detailed conversations about a new agreement have not yet begun with the club and his representatives.

"Let's see. I'm not in any panic whatsoever. I want to keep playing and continue what I'm doing," Van Dijk said, adding that he would consider moves elsewhere if an extension does not materialise.

Van Dijk has been in outstanding form this season, playing every minute as Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League. He praised goalkeeper Alisson Becker's performance in the Palace victory and reflected on the team's progress under manager Andoni Iraola.

The defender also confirmed he has been ruled out by the Netherlands for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and Germany due to a minor niggle, though he described himself as mentally in a good place.
