Can Liverpool also lose Virgil van Dijk?

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is unwilling to commit his future to the Reds until he has clarity on the club’s long-term vision, with the defender unsure of what awaits him after his contract at Anfield expires next summer.

Van Dijk is one of three stars whose contracts must be completed before 2025, alongside Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold. And while there are no immediate concerns that the captain wants an exit, he wants to see what happens next before signing an extension.

Losing their captain after Jurgen Klopp announced his shock departure last week would be a huge blow for Liverpool.

Eddie Howe: ‘Callum Wilson will stay’

Eddie Howe has also dismissed Callum Wilson could leave the club in January despite being linked with a move away from St. James’ Park

‘I honestly didn’t know that with Callum. Callum is committed 100 percent, just like Kieran (Trippier). That’s why I’m surprised by the noise with Callum,” Howe said.

‘I don’t really understand. He is currently injured. We have one fit striker, he is our second fit striker. We’re desperate to get him back. From his perspective and ours, there is nothing wrong here.”

Eddie Howe is cautious about new signings

Newcastle have dominated the headlines so far during the transfer window, albeit not for the reasons their fans might have hoped for. The Toon may be the richest club in the world, but those pesky Financial Fairplay rules mean they have to sell before they can buy.

Bruno Guimaraes is the latest man to be linked with a move away from St James’ Park and Eddie Howe admitted new signings in the next three days are unlikely.

‘Nothing has changed, it’s copy and paste from before the Fulham game. I have no new news for you. We are still waiting,” he told reporters Monday morning.

‘We’ll wait and see what happens. I don’t want to talk about individual names.

‘It is a complex situation. Nothing is clear and all eventualities can happen. What we probably won’t do is bring in a player without losing one the other way.”
