Liverpool star defender Virgil van Dijk (32, Liverpool) has been shaken up by questions over his contract renewal. What is the reason.
According to the British media “The Sun” on the 30th (Korean time), Van Dyck is cautious about renewing his contract with Liverpool. Klopp’s decision to put down the Liverpool baton at the end of this season has shocked him and forced him to rethink his contract.
Van Dijk said, “I’m not sure about the renewal yet. There will be a big deal for Liverpool in the future. Not only the coach but also many changes are expected. I can’t answer about the renewal at this time. I don’t know when it will be, but I’ll judge based on the situation.”
Delivering his words, “The Sun” predicted, “The departure of Liverpool’s main players may begin with Klopp’s resignation.”
Van Dyke and Liverpool have 18 months left on their contract, and Van Dyke, who is cautious about whether to renew his contract, stressed that he will focus on this season.
“Nothing has changed since Klopp’s resignation,” he said. “There will be many changes in Liverpool after this season, but not now. We have to continue as we have done so far. Of course, it is not an easy task. The most important thing is to have a rating.”
Liverpool said on its official website on the 26th, “Coach Jurgen Klopp said he would leave the club after the end of the 2023-2024 season.”
Klopp ended his career at FSV Mainz 05 in 2001 and immediately took the helm to start his managerial career. Since then, he led Borussia Dortmund in 2008 with two Bundesliga wins and one UEFA Champions League runner-up, making his name known around the world.
Since then, Klopp has been appointed to Liverpool since 2015 and has been leading the club until now. He has led Liverpool and lifted numerous trophies including one Premier League victory (2019-2020), the FA Cup (2021-2022), the EFL Cup (2021-2022), and the UEFA Champions League (2018-2019).
According to Liverpool, Klopp said, “I love everything about Liverpool. However, I made this decision because I am confident that I am right. How can I put it… The energy is at the bottom. Obviously, I have no problem. I have known for a long time that I have to make an announcement someday, but I think now is the time.” 라바카지노
“I already notified the club in November. I will have time to say goodbye after this season. I am grateful to Liverpool,” he said.
He then vowed to “have a challenging final season.” /jinju217@osen.co.kr
