Virgil van Dijk dismissed rumors of a potential move to Real Madrid this summer but remained tight-lipped about his future with Liverpool.
The 33-year-old Dutch defender is entering the final months of his contract at Anfield, but his focus remains on performing well on the field, as evidenced by his standout performance in the recent 2-0 victory over Real Madrid.
Following the match, Van Dijk was interviewed by Edu Aguirre of El Chiringuito, who directly asked him about his future with Liverpool beyond the summer.
“What a direct question!” Van Dijk chuckled. “I can’t say anything at the moment. My sole focus is on the upcoming match against Man City.”
The conversation then shifted to a possible move to Madrid for Van Dijk, who pointed out the presence of Antonio Rudiger in the team.
When asked directly about a potential transfer to Madrid after his Liverpool contract expires, Van Dijk reiterated his focus on the upcoming match against Man City.
Liverpool will face Manchester City in a crucial match on Sunday, with Arne Slot’s team holding a significant lead at the top of the table. Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that the title race could be decided if Liverpool secure a victory.
