“I did have doubts that night,” Van Dijk revealed, reflecting on his raw emotions. “But it’s very good that I went on holiday the next day, was able to spend time with my children and family, which is the most important thing in my life. Things calmed down quickly after that.”

While Van Dijk seems determined to keep leading both club and country, it’s Liverpool who are now faced with a decision.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool’s hierarchy is eager to tie their captain down to a new contract to avoid losing him for free next summer. They are reportedly prepared to offer the Dutchman a new deal, but sources suggest that Van Dijk will weigh his options carefully before committing, especially considering whether the club’s future plans align with his ambitions.

The situation has left many Liverpool fans on edge. Can the club convince one of their greatest-ever defenders to stay and finish his career at Anfield, or will Van Dijk decide to take on one last challenge elsewhere? One thing is certain: the next few months will be critical for both Van Dijk’s future and Liverpool’s defensive stability.
