Virgil van Dijk refused to put a time frame on his contract talks with Liverpool, but admitted there is no news yet on his future with the club.
Van Dijk is approaching the final six months of his contract and has already rejected Liverpool’s first extension offer, with the conditions on the table are not satisfactory for the 33-year-old.
That means the Dutchman is just days away from being able to negotiate a deal with clubs abroad, and there is likely to be no shortage of interest in Van Dijk if he becomes available as a free agent.
Despite the fact that the clock is ticking down, Van Dijk insisted he will not put a deadline on his decision.
Confirming there was no update on his situation, Van Dijk told reporters: “There is no deadline at all. We will see what the future brings.”
Van Dijk again insisted that his focus remains solely on the problems on the pitch, starting with Liverpoola visit from Leicester City on Boxing Day.
I am focused on Leicester, he said. “Going home as soon as possible to see my family and have a few nice days and then focus completely on Leicester. That’s the only thing I’m thinking about.”
Van Dijk’s new contract comes soon after Mohamed Salah also confirmed that he has nothing new to say about own negotiations regarding the extension.
