Van Dijk's contract situation 

The Netherlands international is one of the three Liverpool superstars whose contracts expire at the season's end. Van Dijk, Trent Alexander Arnold, and Mohamed Salah will all be available to leave for free next month. 

However, the trio has expressed interest in continuing with the Reds, with Van Dijk inspiring the most confidence among the three. 

The 33-year-old joined Liverpool from Southampton in the winter transfer window of 2018 and has gone on to make history with the club, with one Champions League and one Premier League title.

He was then asked about Salah's situation. He said,”The numbers speak for themselves. He’s a very special athlete.”
