Danny Murphy has suggested something about Virgil van Dijk which he believes may sound a little silly after being asked about the future of Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.

It is looking set to be a fascinating summer at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp gears up to step aside as Liverpool manager.

Interestingly, Liverpool have three key players approaching the final year of their contracts, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah all potentially becoming free agents in 2025.

“I actually think the more important signing to keep is van Dijk, I know that sounds a bit silly because of Salah’s goals, but Liverpool don’t struggle to make chances,” he said.

I think van Dijk going would be a bigger blow than Salah, in my opinion.”

You can definitely understand Murphy’s perspective.

Van Dijk is potentially not the force he once was, but he is still one of the very best centre-backs in the Premier League and a real leader in the Liverpool ranks.

Murphy may feel it sounds silly to suggest that keeping van Dijk is more important, but you would not be surprised if plenty of Liverpool fans did agree.
