The Dutch center defender has not spoken anything regarding his future, but he has acknowledged that his agents are in talks with Liverpool over a new contract.
The 33-year-old player stated in an interview with The Athletic: “At the moment, negotiations are going place, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the future. Right now, my entire attention is on Liverpool, winning the next games, and I’m not thinking about anything else. I can only say that talks have begun and we will have to wait and see what happens. I have no idea what the future holds.
I’m having a great time and feel fantastic both emotionally and physically. I believe you’ll be informed when the time comes to make a decision because discussions with the relevant parties are still underway. Currently, though, my entire attention is directed toward Liverpool, and my goal is to win this season. Regarding my own performance, I’m feeling good. I don’t want to talk about myself; I’ll let others make that determination. The entire squad works to prevent goals from being conceded, not just myself.
