Virgil van Dijk is out of contract in the summer along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold; trio were unable to prevent Liverpool going out of Champions League on penalties to PSG on Tuesday; Van Dijk confirms "conversations behind the scenes continue" about a new deal.
Virgil van Dijk says talks with Liverpool over a new deal are "not on hold" but he still has "no idea" what will happen in the summer, when his contract is set to expire.
The Liverpool captain was unable to prevent his side crashing out of the Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 on Tuesday night.
Afterwards, he spoke with reporters and revealed there is still no definitive resolution on whether he stays with Liverpool or becomes a free agent at the end of this season, despite ongoing conversations with the club.
"I have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment," Van Dijk said when asked whether he would be playing for Liverpool at the start of next season
"Genuinely. I have no idea at the moment. It is not on hold. Nothing is on hold. There's just… I keep saying the same thing. Listen, there are 10 games to go (this season) and that is my full focus.
"If there is news, you guys will know it. But I don't even know myself. Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes but that is about it. At the moment I don't even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face."
As well as Van Dijk, star forward Mohamed Salah and right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold are also out of contract at the end of the campaign.
