Liverpool is confident of extending their contract with Virgil van Dijk.
David Onstein, a reporter from The Athletic, a global sports media outlet with the best credibility in the transfer market, reported the news of the transfer market through a question-and-answer session with fans on the 21st (Korea time).

Pandique has recently been speculated several times that he could leave Liverpool and move his team to a free agent. Some British media cited the possibility of a Bayern Munich transfer, saying, "'Bayern Munich has entered preliminary negotiations with Pandeyk', while England's Tribuna reportedly said PSG is all-in on signing Pandeyk. He also said that he offered a total annual salary of 100 million euros (about 150 billion won) for a two-year contract.
Belgium's leading journalist, Shasha Tabolieri, said on Sky Sports that `Pandique is considering leaving the team after this season. This season could be his last for Liverpool, and it has been reported that VanDijk wants to venture abroad before completing his career. Already he had received a great offer from Al-Hilal, and he thought his time was coming to an end.

The background of the transfer rumor is the issue of Van Dijk's contract. VanDijk's contract with Liverpool expires after this season, but there is no news of the renewal agreement yet. After last season, manager Jurgen Klopp left and manager Arne Slot led the team, and Liverpool faced a time of change. There has also been an increasing prospect that Pandique may not be able to escape the wind of change.
However, due to Onstein's report, Liverpool does not seem to have any intention of missing Pandique even after this season. If Liverpool signs a long-term contract with Pandique this summer, it is highly likely to be a life-long contract. It is expected that he will be able to play as Liverpool's captain until his retirement. Journalist David Lynch said `Pandique is the man who wants to stay in Liverpool the most.'

Meanwhile, if Pandique leaves Liverpool for Bayern Munich, it was not good news for South Korean national team defender Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae has been showing good performance this season by jumping to a clear starting defender under Coach Bang Sang Kompany. He certainly won a spot in the defense. However, if Pandique had joined the upcoming summer, there could have been enough changes in position. The possibility of having more difficulty competing for the starting lineup could not be ruled out.
