At this stage, everything is possible for Van Dijk. Considering we are ever closer to the end of the season and the club captain's representatives are free to hold talks with clubs from outside of England, a departure is a strong possibility.

But this would be devastating for Liverpool. Losing a club captain is a huge blow and Van Dijk is more than just that.

He's still one of the best players in world football in his position. He is a world-class talent and who is a massive figure in the dressing room and who sets the standard week in and week out.

There might be some positive news on the horizon though with Fabrizio Romano confirming Van Dijk's very own transfer stance.

Fabrizio Romano's massive Van Dijk update

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano dropped some really encouraging news about Van Dijk's current situation.

Romano confirmed that Liverpool want to keep the Dutchman at the club and are very confident of being able to do that.

“Liverpool internally insist on their plan to keep Virgil van Dijk at the club. They really want to keep Virgil," Romano said.

“They insist on their confidence to make it happen, so Liverpool remain confident – relaxed is a big word; it’s still too early to say relaxed.

“You are relaxed when you sign a contract, but Liverpool remain in conversations with Van Dijk and are convinced that they can make it happen with the player.

“At the moment, there’s still nothing agreed, but Virgil van Dijk is speaking to the club. In this case, Liverpool maintain their position.”

This will be massive news for Liverpool fans. Given all the uncertainty around Van Dijk's future, the fact that the club remain confident of keeping him at Anfield beyond next season is huge news.

It's the kind of news we want to hear and it's the kind of news that will reassure fans that they won't be losing their club captain in the foreseeable future.
