Virgil Van Dijk Drops Exciting Liverpool Transfer Hint That Fans Will Love

The Reds have already brought in Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton on a five-year deal and at least two more midfielders have been tipped to move to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's side performed underwhelming last season as they finished fifth in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification.

However, the Merseysiders managed to qualify for next season's UEFA Europa League, a competition they will be competing in for the first time since 2015.

Van Dijk said: "I still have two years left on my contract and I assume that they (Liverpool) still consider me important for the team. If not, I am sure I would have heard about it."

"My contact with the manager is good and I feel very positive about things again. The way we finished the season motivates me to go into pre-season with the new players who are coming in."

The Netherlands skipper was one of several key Liverpool players whose form had dipped vastly, admitting he was not consistent for the former Premier League champions last term.

"I don't feel too big to be vulnerable. It has been quite an intense season, with many ups and downs and people must understand that we aren’t robots. It has been a year in which I learned a lot - especially off the pitch, and certainly mentally," he added.

"In football, it's never plain sailing - but this season was still quite a shock. Sometimes the criticism was just right, both on the team and on me individually. But quite often it was not quite right. Either way, you have to be able to deal with it - and I'm glad I came out of it well. Mentally, that’s not always easy.

"Criticism is part of it - and it's certainly not a problem if it's justified. But a footballer knows when he has played well or badly. Some comments are also only intended to be controversial and are said just for the sake of saying them. There are so many platforms on which people can express their opinions these days.

"The problem is that, as a footballer, you can't really say much back. If you do that once, you immediately have the puppets dancing. I am someone who consciously doesn't read, listen or watch much. I can shut myself off from it. But you do get told a lot by other people - and then you can't escape it."
