The defender's contract with the Reds expires this summer and he is uncertain about his future at the club as he is focused firmly on the present as the team close in on the Premier League title.

Asked if he would be a Liverpool player come August, Van Dijk said: "I have no idea at the moment, genuinely I still have no idea.

"It is not on hold. Nothing on hold. There are 10 games to go and that is my full focus. If there is news you guys will know it. I don’t even know myself. Everyone knows there are some conversations behind the scenes but that is about it. At the moment I don’t even know what will happen next year. If anyone says they do know, they are lying to your face."

Liverpool suffered an agonising Champions League exit on penalties to PSG earlier this week but the captain has urged the team to put the disappointment aside by winning the two trophies that remain for them this season - starting with the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle this weekend.

Van Dijk said: "There are two big prizes we can still get. We are going to give it everything. We have to feel the disappointment but from tomorrow it is about recovery. Be ready for a good one. If we bring this intensity in Wembley with our fans, then I am positive. I am always positive. But I am really looking forward to being back out there."

Liverpool were unable to defend their first leg lead against PSG but the Dutch international felt the team did everything possible to progress in the European tie.

He said: "We tried everything in our power to go through, especially in regular time.

"We put ourselves in a very good position last week, winning there 1-0. Our performance was miles better and we created a lot of opportunities. But we couldn’t capitalise."
