Virgil van Dijk panicked Liverpool after images came to the fore in a conversation with two PSG leaders after the defeat on his part in the Champions League.
The Champions League showdown ended with the side of Luis Enrique who dumped the Reds on the last 16 on penalties, in which Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones both miss their efforts.
The goal of Ousmane Dembele sent the game to extra time, and then to a penalty shootout, after the Reds were not the same for 120 minutes, despite a promising display on the field.
Nunez and Mohamed Salah only created two of the many dangerous opportunities in Liverpool in the game, where Nuno Mendes pulled a stunning block to deny the Egyptian.
However, Reds fans did not have much time to think about the result of the game, because Captain Van Dijk was deeply seen in conversations with PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi and sports director Luis Campos in the Anfield tunnel.
The French TV channel RMC Sport followed with an explanation of the conversation between them, just a few hours before the Dutchman revealed a new update about his future with his current deal to walk off at the end of the season.
The leader of Liverpool reportedly apologized to both Al-Khelaifi and Campos after he was involved in a collision with the Portuguese chef during the first stage of the Champions League round team of 16.
Initially, Campos raged about the referee's decision to award Ibrahima Konate not to award the Frenchman Bradley Barcola in the first half – criticized a judgment by many fans and experts.
The incident was analyzed during a long VAR check, but the officials did not decide any further action.
The anger of PSG was exacerbated when Liverpool achieved a smash-and-grab victory in the late stages of the game after replacement Harvey Elliott shot Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 87th minute.
Van Dijk seemed to come up with Campos in the problem and could be heard that they say: 'It is not a Ligue 1 here, Bro'.
RMC Sport outlined that the centerback and PSG officials crossed paths on Tuesday instead of planned to meet in the tunnel in advance.
Moreover, the French outlet emphasized that both Van Dijk and Al-Khelaifi have a long-term history of respecting each other, where the Dutchman later asks Campos to participate in the conversation.
On Wednesday, the Reds captain sounded a new alarm on his future in Liverpool, because the 33-year-old revealed that he has 'no idea' or he will be part of the Arne Slot team next season.
Although the PSG collision might have been his last Champions League match for the MerseSide Giants, it is clear that both parties did not come closer to reaching an agreement to stay him.
Asked if he would stay in the club, he said: “I have no idea. I still have no idea at the moment. Really. I currently have no idea.
“It's not on hold. Nothing is on hold. There is just … I keep saying the same. Listen, there are still 10 games to go (this season) and that is my full focus. If there is news, you will know. But I don't even know myself.
'Everyone knows that there are some conversations behind the scenes, but that's about it. At the moment I don't even know what will happen next year. If someone says they know, they lie to your face. '
Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are now also from the current current in the summer of 2025.
