Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk continues to face an uncertain future at Anfield with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Since January, the trio have been able to speak to overseas clubs about the prospect of signing pre-contract terms with interested sides.

After the feeling that at least two would stay, fears are increasing among Reds supporters that their captain, top goalscorer and one of the most creative players in the world could all depart the club.

Despite reports and speculation from around England and Europe, Van Dijk has repeatedly remained coy on the matter.

Remaining at Liverpool isn't off the cards either, but it is further claimed that the Parisiens are sensing an opportunity and have begun their charm offensive.

Despite the panic increasing among Liverpool supporters, Van Dijk has previously insisted that as long as he is calm about the situation then there is nothing to worry about.

The ECHO reported this week that Van Dijk's conversation was of a more informal nature.

"I don't understand why this video has caused such a huge controversy on social media," Pascal Ferre, PSG's director of press and media, told 365scores.
