Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has admitted he is uncertain about his future at Anfield, with no breakthrough in contract negotiations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Dutch defender’s current deal expires in the summer, and he’s\u00a0revealed that he has \u201cno idea\u201d whether he will remain at the club beyond this season.<\/p>\n

Van Dijk Speaks Out on Contract Talks<\/h2>\n

Despite ongoing discussions with Liverpool\u2019s<\/a> hierarchy, Van Dijk remains in the dark about where he will play next season.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the club\u2019s Champions League exit against PSG<\/a>, he dismissed any speculation regarding his future, stating, \u201cI have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment. Genuinely. I have no idea at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that anyone claiming to know the outcome of his contract talks is \u201clying to your face.\u201d<\/p>\n

With only ten games left in Liverpool\u2019s campaign, Van Dijk insists his full focus is on securing two trophies \u2013 the Carabao Cup and the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

PSG Links and Uncertain Future<\/h3>\n

Fuelling further speculation, Van Dijk was seen conversing with PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Lu\u00eds Campos after Liverpool\u2019s defeat to the French giants.<\/p>\n

Given the financial muscle of PSG, links between the Dutch defender and the Ligue 1 side will only intensify.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in similar contractual situations, with their deals expiring at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

While Alexander-Arnold looks poised to join Real Madrid<\/a>, Salah has remained ambiguous about his future.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s Final Push for Silverware<\/h3>\n

With uncertainty surrounding Van Dijk\u2019s future, the Liverpool squad now turns its attention to Sunday\u2019s Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.<\/p>\n

The club also look set to reclaim the Premier League title, leading second-placed Arsenal by 15 points.<\/p>\n

Van Dijk remains committed to delivering success for the club before any decision is made on his future.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need any added motivation,\u201d Van Dijk said. \u201cWe have ten games left and two big prizes to fight for. If you need extra motivation for that, you are in the wrong business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
