Van Dijk Calls on Liverpool to Secure Alisson Future

At a time when Liverpool are weighing up key decisions, Virgil van Dijk has made his stance unmistakably clear. The Dutch defender wants the club to ensure that Alisson remains at Anfield, underlining the Brazilian’s influence both on and off the pitch.

Liverpool recently activated a one-year extension in Alisson’s contract, yet uncertainty lingers. Arne Slot has declined to offer firm assurances about the goalkeeper’s future, raising the possibility that this season could mark the end of an era for one of the club’s most important figures.

Alisson Importance to Liverpool Squad

Since arriving in 2018, Alisson has been central to Liverpool’s evolution into a title-winning side. His consistency, authority and composure have provided a foundation upon which success has been built. For Van Dijk, that contribution goes beyond statistics or clean sheets.

“It would definitely be a big blow and a miss but I don’t think it’s a good idea to think ahead about what could or could not happen,” he said.

“He’s very important for me as one of the leaders in the team and I think he is very important on the pitch because I think he is one of the best – in my opinion the best – goalkeeper in the world.

“He’s trying to be back as soon as possible [after injury] to help us for the last four games and that’s our main focus. Whatever happens after that is not something you should ask me. Would I love him to stay? Of course, there’s no [doubt] about that.”

Those words reflect both admiration and concern. Alisson’s leadership has been quietly integral, often setting standards that ripple across the squad.
