Amid rumors of a possible exit due to his contract expiring in a few weeks, Virgil van Dijk has spoken at length about his future at Liverpool. He is also being sought after by several top-flight clubs

Visibly affected by Liverpool 's elimination against PSG, Virgil Van Dijk continues to mull his future. The 33-year-old defender is a free agent and, in fact, spoke with Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaifi in the corridors of Anfield.

This was revealed by our colleagues at Footmercato.net , confirming PSG's already known interest in signing the Dutch defender. One of the most sought-after players in world football at the moment, he has played 40 games (3 goals) this season for the Reds.

A clear preference

Now the player has spoken to the Daily Telegraph , where he made some interesting and clear statements about his future: "The only thing I can say, and I've said it several times, is that I am very proud to be the captain of this beautiful club that means so much to me.

Obviously there are conversations that happen, but they are private and confidential. I love the fans, the fans love me and I will continue working for all of that. I also feel in one of the best forms of my career. I like being there in the dressing room. I feel this responsibility more than ever, perhaps because little by little I am getting older . "

On the other hand, the defender has been clear about the possibility of moving to another club: "At the moment I can't, because I still have 10 games left to play, so I can't think about what will happen after the summer. The most important thing is to stay committed, and I'm fully committed to Liverpool right now . "
