British media Express reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Van Dijk hinted that he could leave the team when his contract with Liverpool expires'
Van Dijk joined Liverpool through the winter transfer window in January 2018. He played more than 250 games in Liverpool's uniform. However, he did not agree to extend his contract with Liverpool. He "Let's see what happens. But I'm very calm with my situation."
Liverpool is also preparing for Van Dijk's transfer. Citing a report by another media outlet The Independent, the outlet named Mark Gehi (Crystal Palace) as its new centre-back target. It looks like we can recruit him next year. Guehi also recently received a love call from Newcastle. However, £70 million could not shake Crystal Palace. Gehi's contract period is also numbered. The recruitment competition for him is expected to become fiercer. According to the British media Daily Mail, Manchester City is also said to be paying attention to Guehi.
The Express will be a great boost to manager Arne Slot if Liverpool beat Man City and find a Van Dijk replacement. Van Dijk's replacement, of course, could weaken one of the title rivals.

Salah, who scored one goal and two assists on the day, was named the man of the match. The vote, which involved 41,767 people, received overwhelming support of 69.2 percent. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, he said "I had a good summer. As you know, it's my last year at this club. I tried to think positively for a long time. I just want to have fun. I don't want to think about it. I will wait and see what happens next year with the idea that I can play soccer freely. To be honest, I played with the idea that playing at Old Trafford could be my last. No one from the club has talked to me about the contract yet. Play the last season and you'll find out after the season ends. It's not up to me to decide." He has been called by the Saudi Arabian League since last summer. It is known that he proposed an astronomical amount of money. Salah is currently paid £350,000 a week.
