Captain Liverpool Virgil van Dijk indicated that there was “progress” in the interviews for the long -awaited new agreement to keep it in Anfield.
A 33-year-old man, like Muhammad Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is out of the contract this summer, but revealed that his future could almost be resolved.
Asked after the Sunday defeat of the Premier League in Fulham, if there has been progress in discussions, van Dijk told reporters, “There has been progress, yeah.”
Dutch International, pushed what it means, he added, “Listen, these are internal discussions and we will see.
“I love the club, I love fans and they were there for us again (in Fulham). We wanted to reward them, but I ask them to be there again on Sunday and make the stadium an amazing place as always for us.”
Running leaders face West Ham in Anfield on Sunday sit 11 points before the second place in Arsenal and the knowledge of the second title in six seasons can be only a few weeks.
Futures influential trio van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold, however, have become the main speaking in recent weeks, with speculation that home talent Alexander-Arnold could leave to give Real Madrid an angry reaction from part of the club’s support.
Van Dijka’s comments are likely to be better accepted, although it insists that they focus only on the task of winning the league.
He said, “This is definitely the mentality in our group that work is not finished and now we just have to recover physically and mentally and put our minds on West Ham at home.”
