Van Dijk may have played his last Champions League match for Liverpool on Tuesday as they exited the competition following a 4-1 penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Round of 16 clash. After the disappointing night at Anfield, the Dutch defender was asked about his future at the club but admitted that contract discussions with the Reds have not progressed.
Speaking to reporters, Van Dijk expressed uncertainty, saying, “Honestly, I have no idea. Right now, I genuinely don’t know. It’s not that negotiations are on hold—there’s just nothing concrete happening. My focus is entirely on the ten games ahead, and if there’s any news, you’ll hear it. But at this moment, even I don’t know what’s next. If anyone claims otherwise, they’re lying.”
Following the defeat to the French champions, Liverpool fans were left anxious after Van Dijk was spotted in conversation with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Luis Campos. Meanwhile, the club is yet to finalize new deals for key players Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Despite their Champions League exit, the Reds now turn their attention to securing their first silverware of the season as they prepare to face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.
