Graeme Souness Weighs in on Virgil van Dijk's Future at Liverpool

The future of 35-year-old Liverpool captain and defensive mainstay Virgil van Dijk remains uncertain as his contract is set to expire next June, and the club's hierarchy has yet to decide on his next steps. Former Reds legend Graeme Souness has shared his perspective on the situation.


Souness believes that despite his age and a challenging partnership alongside Konate, the Dutch defender still has plenty to offer. He urged Liverpool to hand van Dijk a one-year contract extension with an option for another year, praising him as an exceptional player. As of now, it remains unknown if formal renewal talks have begun, while clubs from Turkey are closely monitoring the veteran and preparing a potential offer.
