The Liverpool captain has been in talks with the club about a new deal and said they are still ongoing, but are no nearer a resolution.

Van Dijk said talks about a new deal were “not on hold” but that nothing had changed.

If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face.”

The £75m signing said he was unsure if he played his last Champions League game for the club in Tuesday’s penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

I have no idea at the moment.”

Van Dijk was full of praise for Paris Saint-Germain, who were unlucky to find themselves 1-0 down after the first leg at the Parc des Princes, but rallied at Anfield to book their place in the quarter-finals.

They have created a very good team, the manager and recruitment, they make it very difficult.”

Van Dijk urged Liverpool to channel their disappointment from their crushing Champions League last-16 exit to win the Carabao Cup against Newcastle on Sunday, though he felt it will be difficult, given the circumstances.
