Virgil van Dijk has reportedly “chosen to embark on a new challenge” in light of the controversy surrounding his contract situation at Liverpool, as reported by shocking sources.
At the conclusion of the current season, Van Dijk will be able to exercise his right to become a free agent because his contract will expire.
As is the case with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah, he has not yet signed a new contract with Liverpool. He is going through the same situation as the other players.
It should come as no surprise that the three Liverpool players have been the focus of intense transfer speculation.
As the expiration date of their current contracts approaches, rumours continue to circulate.
And according to a report that was published in the Spanish publication Fichajes, Van Dijk has “chosen to embark on a new challenge” in the form of a move to Bayern Munich. The report states that Van Dijk has “made the decision not to renew his contract with Liverpool.”
Bayern is one of the clubs that are keeping an eye on his situation, and according to the report, they have made him a “very attractive offer.”
A “highly lucrative contract” has been offered to him by the German team, and sources close to the player have confirmed that the 33-year-old is “very close to giving a definitive yes” to the offer.
The departure of Van Dijk from Anfield would be a devastating blow to Liverpool and Arne Slot, who has expressed his desire for the star defender to remain with the club for the upcoming season.
“The only thing I know is that I want Virgil to be here next season,” he said in his pre-match press conference prior to the Carabao Cup final. “I want him to be here.” “All the rest, these talks about contracts, that is not what I do here.”
According to Van Dijk, who was speaking after the game, Liverpool was eliminated from the Champions League on Tuesday. He admitted that he had “no idea” what the future holds for the club.
“I am completely clueless. “At this very moment, I am still completely clueless,” he stated. “In all sincerity. As of right now, I am completely clueless. This is not a hold on it. Everything is on hold. Not only that, but… I am repeating myself over and over again. Listen, there are ten games left, and I am concentrating all of my attention on that. In the event that there is news, you will be aware of it.
In fact, I don’t even know who I am. It is common knowledge that there are conversations taking place behind the scenes, but that is the extent of the matter. As of right now, I have no idea what are going to take place in the following year. In the event that anyone claims to be aware of something, they are lying to you.
