Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is “not in any panic” over his contract situation, with his current deal at Anfield set to expire next summer.
Van Dijk, who joined Liverpool in 2018, has played every minute of their Premier League campaign this season and started three of their four Champions League matches under Andoni Iraola.
“I feel good but it’s not about me at the moment. Let’s see,” said the 35-year-old defender.
“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.”
On how he assesses the season so far, with Liverpool fourth after 10 games but trailing league leaders Arsenal by nine points, Virgil van Dijk added: “A work in progress.
“Some games we could have done much better that we won. And some games we lost but we were good. We’re trying to find consistency as that’s the only way to be successful.”
