Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has fueled speculation about his future at Anfield after being spotted in conversation with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) officials following Liverpool’s Champions League exit.
The Reds were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Luis Enrique’s side, losing on penalties after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes.
Footage captured Van Dijk speaking with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting director Luis Campos in the Anfield tunnel, raising questions about his next move.
French outlet RMC Sport clarified that the meeting was unplanned and stemmed from a chance encounter.
The Dutch defender reportedly apologized to Campos for a previous clash during the first leg of the tie, where tensions flared over a controversial refereeing decision.
Van Dijk, whose contract expires at the end of the season, later addressed his uncertain future, admitting, “I have no idea what will happen next year.”
He emphasized his focus on Liverpool’s remaining 10 games this season but dismissed rumors of a contract extension, calling them “lies.”
Despite the speculation, Van Dijk expressed gratitude for his time at Liverpool, while fans anxiously await clarity on his next steps.
With Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold also nearing the end of their contracts, Liverpool faces a pivotal summer of decisions.
