Virgil van Dijk reflects on Liverpool title triumph in emotional video
Although the season ended several weeks ago, Van Dijk remains in high spirits, sharing a reflective video capturing Liverpool’s title-winning journey.
The Liverpool skipper captioned the clip: “Responsibilities and rewards…”
The post drew widespread attention, with teammates Ryan Gravenberch, Konate and Luis Diaz all liking the update. Arsenal duo William Saliba and fellow Dutchman Jurrien Timber also engaged with the post, showing their appreciation.
The Liverpool captain was instrumental in the Reds’ success, making 49 appearances in all competitions and amassing over 4,000 minutes of game time.
The campaign also marked a significant personal achievement, as Van Dijk surpassed 300 Premier League appearances, spanning his time at both Southampton and Liverpool, as he added a second league winner’s medal to his collection.
Liverpool fear Trent Alexander-Arnold repeat amid Ibrahima Konate exit speculation
Even though Van Dijk committed his future, Trent Alexander-Arnold decided to leave Liverpool on a free transfer and sign for Real Madrid.
Now, there are fears of history repeating itself. Football Insider revealed that Real Madrid have turned their attention to Konate, who has just one year remaining on his current deal.
Both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring Konate’s situation, with contract negotiations showing little progress.
It’s believed that Los Blancos may look to strike in this window or bide their time until next summer, mirroring their approach with Alexander-Arnold. Time will tell if the club will allow another key player to slip through their fingers in similar fashion.
