Virgil van Dijk is delighted that Liverpool have signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus, and has dropped a fresh hint about his future. The Reds captain is out of contract next summer, and urged the club to bolster Arne Slot’s squad earlier this month. 'Obviously I think we should make some signings based on how long the season will go,” he admitted after Liverpool’ s pre-season friendly win over Sevilla at the start of August.
“And to have Chiesa coming in is a very good signing, especially for the deal that has been done. “We don’t need to forget that getting players is not as easy as everyone thinks. I know the club is doing a lot of hard work in trying to make deals and do the right thing.” Van Dijk’s own long-term future at Anfield remains uncertain with the 33-year-old’s current contract set to expire next summer. He has admitted more than once in recent weeks that there had been no change in his situation.
