Virgil van Dijk won’t “panic” about his Liverpool future as the Reds captain admits he is willing to let his contract run down until the end of the season.

Van Dijk’s current deal expires in June and talks with Liverpool have yet to produce an extension.

The 33-year-old defender’s successful seven-year stay at Anfield will come to an end if no new contract is agreed.

Van Dijk, who will lead Liverpool in the League Cup final against Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday, has made no secret of his desire to remain on Merseyside.But even with no resolution in sight it has not affected his performances or his focus.

“Maybe I will run this fully down and then there is still no news, I don’t know,” he said.
