Van Dijk sends heartfelt message to Liverpool fans after footage drops
Virgil van Dijk posted an emotional message as he seemed to continue to revel in Liverpool’s Premier League glory.
The Liverpool captain lifted the Premier League trophy in front of the Anfield faithful following a dominant campaign under new manager Arne Slot.
It marked a successful changing of the guard, with Slot guiding the Reds to the title in his first season after taking over from Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds finished the season 10 points clear at the top of the table, with Van Dijk playing a crucial role at the heart of the defence. His partnership with Ibrahima Konate proved one of the league’s most solid, helping the side record a league-high 14 clean sheets.
The 2024/25 campaign also brought a personal milestone for Van Dijk, as he surpassed 300 Premier League appearances – a journey that began during his spell at Southampton.
Now, as the dust settles on a historic season, the Dutchman appears to be in high spirits, reflecting on the celebrations with a heartfelt message on social media.

Virgil van Dijk shares Liverpool parade footage as title celebrations continue
Despite the season having wrapped up weeks ago, Van Dijk still appears to be in a celebratory mood, sharing fresh footage from Liverpool’s title parade on Instagram.
The skipper wrote: “What a day! Thanks for all the love.”
Van Dijk played a vital role in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign, making 49 appearances across all competitions and clocking up an impressive 4,437 minutes.
Speculation had surrounded his future earlier in the season due to him coming to the end of his deal, but he put those rumours to rest after Van Dijk signed a new contract to commit his future to the club.
While Trent Alexander-Arnold has opted to leave Liverpool, Van Dijk remains a key figure in the squad and looks set to lead Liverpool into a new era under Slot.

As Van Dijk continues to enjoy the celebrations, the Liverpool hierarchy remain hard at work preparing for next season, and they’re closing in on one of the most exciting signings of the summer.
Football Insider revealed Liverpool are on the verge of securing a deal for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, in a blockbuster move that could reach a total cost of £200 million, including wages and fees.
Bayern Munich and Manchester City have long held interest in the German international, but Liverpool now appear to be leading the race, further underlining their ambition to build on this season’s success.
If completed, the signing of Wirtz would be a major statement from the Premier League champions as they look to dominate both domestically and in Europe under Slot’s leadership.
