Van Dijk hints at parting ways with Liverpool, "Decision will be made after the end of the season"

 he aftermath of manager Jurgen Klopp's departure is already anticipated. First of all, the players are agitated.

Virgil van Dijk has not confirmed whether he will renew his contract with Liverpool. He actually shocked people by saying that he could leave Liverpool.

British media 'The Sun' commented on this on the 30th (hereinafter Korean time), "As soon as Coach Klopp announced that he would voluntarily resign from Liverpool, a question mark arose over Van Dijk's contract renewal. Perhaps this could be the beginning of the departure of Liverpool's key players. “There is,” he said.

When asked whether he would extend his contract with Liverpool, Van Dijk said, "It's a very important question. I don't know either. Big things will happen for Liverpool in the future. There are so many things that have been predicted to change, not just the coach. I'm very curious about what direction it will go. “I don’t know when that will happen, but I will judge based on the situation. As of now, I cannot answer about renewing my contract.”

He also expressed his affection for coach Klopp. “Obviously Klopp’s era is coming to an end,” Van Dijk said. “I’m very happy that I’m still part of that era. That’s why I don’t like to answer questions about the future after Klopp leaves. I’m still playing with Klopp.” "This is my main concern. I will only know at the end of the season whether I will renew my contract or not. I will make a decision when it becomes clearer what Liverpool want."

Van Dijk's contract with Liverpool has 18 months remaining. Liverpool still sees Van Dijk, the center of their defense, as a major asset to the team. They want to tie him into the team's future plans with a contract extension this summer.

On the other hand, Van Dijk made it clear that he would focus on this season. Both the possibility of renewing his contract and the possibility of leaving were left open. Van Dijk said: “Nothing has really changed since Klopp announced his resignation. A lot will change after this season, but not now. We have to keep doing the same thing. It’s easier said than done, but it’s easier said than done. Stay calm. “I feel like it’s important for us to do it,” he said.

He continued, "It's almost like unnecessary noise to talk about what will happen next year. First, we have to finish the work ahead of us. What happens after the season ends is a problem that the Liverpool club must solve."

Coach Klopp will step down as Liverpool head coach at the end of this season. On the 26th, Liverpool announced through its official channels, "Coach Klopp has informed the club of his intention to leave the team this summer. He has decided to resign from his position as Liverpool manager after the end of this season."

It was unexpected and shocking news. Recently, Manager Klopp has shown no signs of leaving Liverpool. He led Liverpool for over eight years, putting them among the best teams in Europe. However, Manager Klopp directly explained the reason for leaving Liverpool through the club's official channels.

Klopp said: “This may come as a shock to many people when they first hear the news, but I can explain it clearly: I love everything about Liverpool. Everything about the city, everything about our supporters, the team and the staff. "I love them all, but the reason I made this decision is because I was convinced that leaving the team was the right thing to do," he said. "I don't know how to say it. I'm running low on energy. I've known for a long time that I'll have to make an announcement at some point." "There was, and now there's no problem at all. I know I can't keep doing it again, and again, and again," he said.

The decision was made quite a long time ago. Klopp said: "I already spoke to the club last November. My job involves directing training from the touchline, but in reality most of the work revolves around activities like this. Once the season starts, we are already planning for the following season. I mean, when we all sit down and decide on potential transfers or where to go for the next preseason, I'm not sure I'll be here. Last season was a very difficult season and there were times when other teams decided to part ways. "But that didn't happen in Liverpool," he said, revealing that he had been thinking specifically about his future for a long time.

Klopp added: "For me it was very, very important to get the team back to the top. That was all I thought about. And when I realized that getting back to the top had happened early on, Liverpool was a really good team with huge potential. And I started thinking about myself and that was the result. It wasn't what I wanted to do, it was just what I thought was 100% right."
