'I have no idea' - Virgil van Dijk gives worrying update on Liverpool future after perfect performance against Tottenham in Carabao Cup semi-final

Van Dijk was once again at his brilliant best for Liverpool during their 4-1 aggregate victory over Tottenham. Capping off an impressive performance, the Dutch defender sealed Liverpool’s ticket to the final by heading in the team’s final goal. Moreover, his leadership at the back was instrumental, which ensured a comfortable passage to Wembley, where Liverpool will now face Newcastle United in the title decider.

Van Dijk has enjoyed a resurgence in form this season under manager Arne Slot, with Liverpool currently leading the Premier League table, topping their Champions League group, and competing on multiple fronts. Earlier he gave a rare insight into his long-term ambitions, hinting at a desire to continue playing at the highest level for several more years, which lent hope to Liverpool fans. Still, his latest admission should be a cause of concern.

After securing the Carabao Cup final berth, Van Dijk was asked about his future but provided little clarity. Speaking to Sky Sports, he stated: "I am feeling good, what the future brings I have no idea. Anyone who says they know, they are absolutely wrong."

While contract talks continue behind closed doors, Liverpool’s attention now shifts to their FA Cup fourth-round fixture against Plymouth Argyle on February 9.
