Virgil van Dijk has sensationally suggested that his time at Liverpool could be drawing to a close following their Champions League exit at the hands of PSG on Tuesday night.
The Reds crashed out on penalties after Ousmane Dembele’s early goal had cancelled out Harvey Elliot’s effort from the first leg.
It was a painful night for Liverpool, with many of their players downbeat at full time.
Mohamed Salah was seen crying on the pitch, while Dominik Szoboszlai had a face like thunder as he watched PSG players celebrating on the Anfield pitch.

Van Dijk, as it stands, is due to become a free agent come the end of the campaign.
And the former Celtic and Southampton star has now sparked talk that he could be about to leave by admitting no fresh deal is close.
“I have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment. Genuinely. I have no idea at the moment,” he said when asked about his future.

“There’s just… I keep saying the same thing. Listen, there are 10 games to go (this season) and that is my full focus.
“If there is news, you guys will know it. But I don’t even know myself.
“Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes but that is about it.
“At the moment I don’t even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face.”

Liverpool had been aiming to win a treble this term.
However, they’ll now have to focus on the Premier League and Carabao Cup after their dreams of European glory were ruthlessly ended.
Liverpool face Newcastle at Wembley in the final of the Carabao Cup on Sunday.
And Van Dijk has urged his team-mates to focus on securing silverware, rather than dwelling on last night’s painful defeat.

“We are going to give it everything. We have to feel the disappointment of this loss but from tomorrow it is about recovery. Be ready for a good one.
“If we bring this intensity in Wembley with our fans, then I am positive. I am always positive. But I am really looking forward to being back out there.
“We don’t need any added motivation. We have 10 games, the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, if you need any added motivation you are in the wrong business.”
