BR Football reported on the 18th (Korea time) that the future has been uncertain for several months in Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk.
The reason why Liverpool could remain a strong team until recently was because of Van Dijk's role. Dutch defender Van Dijk has been in charge of Liverpool's defense for more than seven years, trying to make his team compete as the best team in the world.
Van Dijk has been outstanding again this season, but Liverpool has become an unappreciable team, eliminating both the UCL and the Carabao Cup in a few days.
Liverpool's focus is on winning the English Premier League (EPL), but Van Dijk's future still seems uncertain. VanDijk will be released as a free agent in the transfer market this summer.
Currently, Liverpool is facing a serious situation due to player contract issues.
Not only Van Dijk, but also Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are scheduled to be released as FA this summer, and Ibrahima Konate is also in the final year of his contract, so the future is uncertain.
Liverpool are actively negotiating to extend their contracts with the three key players, but an agreement has yet to be reached.

Reporter Tabolieri said "According to sources inside the locker room, VanDijk wants to take on a new challenge abroad for the last time before completing his professional career."Van Dyke feels his Liverpool career is over, and the next few months may be his last time at Anfield."
Liverpool, however, do not appear to have given up yet. Liverpool is said to plan to use the A-match break to negotiate with Van Dijk and persuade him to extend the contract.
If Van Dijk is released as an FA, there is a high possibility that clubs with a lot of financial power will flock. It is only a matter of time before the transfer is made.
There has already been an offer for van Dijk. A huge proposal came from the Saudi Arabian League. Some said Van Dijk prefers to move to the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal wants to recruit Van Dijk and has reportedly made a huge offer to guarantee an annual salary of 20 million euros (about 31 billion won).
"Van Dyke is said to prefer to move to MLS. He is also considering that Kevin De Bruyne, his close friend, is likely to move to MLS this summer.", he explained. He added that "Liverpool is at an important crossroads whether it can turn VanDijk's mind and extend the contract."
