Virgil van Dijk has spoken candidly about Mohamed Salah’s uncertain future at Liverpool, acknowledging the challenges surrounding the Egyptian forward’s contract situation. After Liverpool’s 6-3 win over Tottenham, van Dijk praised Salah’s exceptional athleticism, noting that “the numbers speak for themselves” when it comes to his contribution to the team.
While van Dijk emphasized Salah’s professionalism and importance to Liverpool, particularly in terms of his goals, assists, and overall impact, he also admitted uncertainty about what the future holds. “He’s been phenomenal for the club, and hopefully, this season will be his best yet,” van Dijk said, stressing the need for Salah to remain a key figure for the team moving forward.
Regarding Salah’s contract, van Dijk remained non-committal, stating, “As for next season? I really don’t know.” Both Salah and van Dijk will be eligible to speak to foreign clubs starting January 1, which opens the door for potential free transfers in the summer.
This marks a critical period in Salah’s relationship with Liverpool, as contract talks loom, and the situation remains fluid.
