Van Dijk Eyes Two More Years as Liverpool’s ‘Big Leader’

Virgil van Dijk has expressed his desire to extend his stay at Liverpool, aiming to remain a key figure for the club and country. The 33-year-old centre-back’s current contract with the Reds is set to expire next summer, but Van Dijk emphasized his sense of responsibility in an interview with The Mirror.

“At both teams, I am still Virgil van Dijk, the big leader! And I certainly want to remain that for the next two years,” said the Netherlands captain.

Reflecting on the emotional highs and lows of football, Van Dijk added, “I am human, I have emotions too. You start thinking all kinds of things, especially just after a game like the elimination [by England at Euro 2024] in the very last minute.”
