Speaking while on international duty, the Reds' talismanic centre-back said: “At both teams (Liverpool and the Netherlands) I am still Virgil van Dijk, the big leader!

Meanwhile, it is being reported that Liverpool is willing to break its rule around handing lucrative contracts to players over the age of 30 in order to keep Mohamed Salah.

Football Insider says that Liverpool and Salah are both keen to reach a resolution soon, with the Reds in particular concerned that the likelihood of Salah leaving will increase the longer the situation rumbles on.

With regards to transfers, Fabrizio Romano reported that the Liverpool-linked France midfielder Adrien Rabiot is not interested in moving to either Turkey or Saudi Arabia, and has his sights set on a move to a club in one of the top teams in Europe.

Caoimhin Kelleher tells Liverpool he wants to leave

Caoimhin Kelleher has told Liverpool he wants to leave the club.

The goalkeeper has indicated he wants to move on in order to become a No.1 elsewhere, having served as deputy to Alisson Becker over the last few years.

What's more, the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili has caused Kelleher to consider his options:

I've made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one and play week in, week out.

The club's made that decision to get another goalkeeper and from the outside looking in, it looks like they've made a decision to go in a different direction.
