Virgil van Dijk's Liverpool future hangs in balance as giants circle

With his current deal set to expire at season's end—alongside teammates Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold—Van Dijk has yet to ink an extension despite nearing an agreement last summer. While speculation swirls around Alexander-Arnold's potential move to Real Madrid and Salah has aired frustrations over stalled talks, Van Dijk has stayed tight-lipped, focusing solely on Liverpool's campaign. The Reds are flying high, sitting eight points clear atop the Premier League and among the frontrunners for Champions League glory after a flawless group stage run, securing a last-16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Van Dijk's commanding presence has been pivotal to their success under new boss Arne Slot in his maiden season. Yet, according to TBR Football, while "Van Dijk is keen to stay at Anfield, there is no deal on offer suitable to both parties." His camp has historically "been unwilling to seriously listen or consider interest from elsewhere," but that stance might soften as "interest is increasing," raising concerns at Liverpool. Sources indicate that Van Dijk's team has been "alerted to the growing attention," with the Saudi Pro League and MLS eager to lure the 33-year-old, though Europe's elite are also in the hunt. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus have emerged as "the clubs in the picture," per the report. Liverpool face a stern test this weekend, traveling to the Etihad to take on Manchester City—a fixture often billed as a title decider in years past, though less so now with City languishing 17 points behind. Despite their rivals' woes, Van Dijk isn't taking anything for granted. "They have the quality to hurt you, and I expect a very difficult game like we have always played against each other—very intense," Van Dijk said. "Hopefully we can get the three points there." Reflecting on City's dip, he added, "They have fantastic players still, and a fantastic manager. They've won Premier Leagues so many years in a row—it's tough to keep that consistency, but they've done it. Right now, they're not showing as much as they'd want, but I still consider them a very good team and they deserve that respect." Liverpool's recent form—five points from clashes with Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Aston Villa—has allowed Arsenal to close the gap at the top. Van Dijk, however, remains unfazed. "We knew this period would be different," he said. "We're all winners, and there are moments in games where you can win them, but from three matches, we now have five points. The focus is on the next one. We don't look at others because there's no point—it's the only way to get success." A recent X update from Liverpool's official account on February 21, 2025, highlighted Van Dijk's leadership, with a clip of him rallying the squad ahead of the City showdown, captioned: "Captain VVD setting the tone." Meanwhile, no public statements from Van Dijk or the club have addressed the contract saga, leaving fans on edge as the clock ticks down.
