Virgil van Dijk has delivered a major boost to Liverpool fans ahead of the season ending.

The Reds got back to winning ways on the weekend with a good 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur, with the London club now winless in their last four games.

Jurgen Klopp’s men can now finish no less than third after Aston Villa lost out 1-0 to Brighton on the south coast.

What was billed as a potential title decider against Tottenham Hotspur turned into a game of pride, and to ensure Jurgen Klopp’s final games at Anfield are remembered well.

However, the sting of the Premier League title slipping away still feels a bit raw, and it may take the end of the season for those feelings to fully disappear.

Because of Jurgen Klopp and his squad’s relative overachievement this season, it’s easy to forget the progress that has been made.

From a 5th-placed finish in 2022/23, to a competitive title race for the large majority of the season and silverware.

Next season will look different under Arne Slot, and one of his first port of calls will likely be sitting down with skipper Virgil van Dijk to determine his long-term plans.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah all see their contracts expire in the summer of 2025 – but it seems that the Dutch skipper is leaning towards staying.

What did Virgil van Dijk say?

The 32-year-old revealed that he will be a part of the transition’ that will be occurring when Jurgen Klopp bids farewell at the end of the season

“There will be a big transition and I am part of that,” Van Dijk began via the BBC.

“I think the club is very much busy with who is going to be the new manager and that is the main focus.”

“Like I said I am very happy here, I love the club and you can see that as well.”

“It’s a big part of my life already, and that is all I can say.” 

“There will be a lot of changes happening and, I wouldn’t say scary is the right word, but it is quite interesting and exciting what will happen now.”

Virgil van Dijk (alongside Alisson) were really the transfers that got Liverpool to the next level and enabled them to win the major honours like the Champions Leaue and Premier League.

The Reds skipper revealed his pride at playing under the German:

“I am really proud I played for him, fought for the badge and him and count the success we had over the years as well.”

“It will be emotional on the last day but it is a part of life sometimes.”

“Many things are happening behind the scenes but we focus on matchdays and that is our duty, our job and we want to perform for the last six points.”
