The Netherlands defender is currently into the final months of his current contract with the Reds, with his deal set to expire at the end of June, 2024. After the match, Van Dijk was asked if there were any positive updates on a possible contract extension and he told Sky Sports<\/a>: “The only thing I\u2019m focusing on is the game ahead of me, and I\u2019m feeling good. I think everyone can see that, and what the future brings, at the moment, I\u2019ve got no idea. So anyone who says they know it, they are absolutely wrong. But we\u2019ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>\u2018Superb\u2019 Liverpool Star Makes Bold Statement on Future Amidst Contract Expiry Fears<\/a><\/p>\n It still appears that Van Dijk has not come any closer to agreeing on a new contract with the current Premier League leaders.
