Van Dijk contract talks with Liverpool ongoing

However, the Netherlands international remains uncertain about his future with the club.

Aside from Van Dijk, the contracts of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are set to expire at the end of this season.

Nonetheless, the 33-year-old remains committed to his campaign with Liverpool.

“I can say obviously discussions are ongoing, but I don’t know, we will see what happens in the future,” said the 33-year-old.

“My very 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 up and we will see.”

“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 full commitment and focus is on Liverpool and to be successful this season. So we will see.”

Slot commends his “mentally strong” players

Liverpool coach Arne Slot dismissed concerns about contract speculation, stating that Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, and Salah remain focused despite reports about their futures.

Slot’s comments also referenced Alexander-Arnold’s links to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

“I think you underestimate our players. These players are used to being linked with all the top clubs on a daily basis, if they have contracts or not,” he told a news conference on Friday.”

“If you think they’re disturbed by this interest then you don’t do justice to how strong they are mentally. This is part of our job. This is part of this world we are living in. You just focus on what you have to do.”

“Maybe if you’re 17 or 18 years of age it could be difficult for you. But Trent has won the league, has won the Champions League; Virgil and Mo the same. I don’t think that is a problem for them to perform and that’s what we see at the moment because they’re playing really well.”
