Virgil van Dijk insists he is relaxed about his immediate Liverpool future.
Van Dijk will be eligible to discuss a free transfer move to a non-English club from January 1 when he enters the final six months of an existing deal at Anfield.
The Reds’ captain, who signed his most recent contract extension in April 2025, remains an ever-present after playing every Premier League minute this season.
But while Van Dijk confirmed talks are yet to take place over prolonging his stay with Andoni Iraola’s side before his current deal expires, he sees no cause for concern.
He said: “I feel good, but it’s not about me at the moment. Let’s see.
“I’m not in any panic whatsoever. I want to keep playing and continue what I’m doing. Let’s see what the season brings. I’ve had an amazing time already so far.
“If that will be extended, that’s the case. If not, then I will go somewhere else.
“There’s nothing to report at the moment but that doesn’t mean that there’s any stress or anything.
“Mentally, I’m in a good place. Physically, I’ve been struggling with a little niggle the past couple of weeks but I do everything in my power to be out there.”
Van Dijk echoed Alisson’s assessment after last weekend’s win over Crystal Palace that Liverpool need to develop consistency after a mixed start to Iraola’s tenure.
“Some games we could have done much better that we won and some games we lost but we were good,” admitted the Netherlands international.
“We’re trying to find consistency as that’s the only way to be successful.
“We have to keep going and learning from good moments and lesser good moments. We could have conceded early today but Ali helped us out.
“It was a very important day to just get the three points, no matter what. Glad we did that.
“The last game in Turkey (against Fenerbahce), we were poor. We’re trying to get consistency and stay up there – not only by winning games but in how we play with the ball and how we defend.
“Some moments in games go very well but some moments, we need improvement and that’s what we work on each and every day and that’s what we all realise. Onto the next one.”
