    From the BBC News article –

    Captain Virgil van Dijk says he “loves” Liverpool and wants to be part of the club’s transition after the departure of manager Jurgen Klopp.

    Klopp will leave after nine years at Anfield at the end of the season with a deal agreed for Feyenoord boss Arne Slot to replace him.

    Van Dijk’s contract runs out at the end of the 2024-25 season, leading to some speculation the Netherlands centre-back could leave the club.

    “There will be a big transition and I am part of that,” Van Dijk, 32, said.

    Some great news, at a great time – well done Virg…

  2. Best bit of news for a while. Slot is going to need him more than anyone. Would be the ultimate disaster to lose him alongside Klopp.

  3. Sunday honestly felt like a bit of a hangover lifter, almost like we gotten over the pain of the trophies and were just back to enjoying it again, everything from Klopps chats to the YNWA pre-KO and even Virgil’s team talk beforehand felt very business as usual.

    Funny thing about this, I want Van Dijk to be a part of Liverpool’s transition as well. Glad we both want the same thing ❤️

    Van dijk based on this season still has many more years ahead of him. He’ll slowly transition out from playing the sheer number of minutes he does, but I could genuinely see him as a bona fide number 1 option for us until 36, then plays reduced minutes until almost 40. This is great news though.

    Im also high on Trent signing the thing too, don’t think his will be an issue.

    Mos agent however won’t take a reduced salary most likely and that one could get tricky. I’d honest resign on 1 year deal at same wages. If not for the afcon/injury, I honestly believe he could have hit 35-40 in all comps. And if the rest of the squad was more clinical, he would be on 20-25 assists.

    Genuinely fantastic news. What a player, what a guy. Great time for it to be said too. Love him to bits. Still the best defender in the world by miles
