Jurgen Klopp has reassured Liverpool fans that ‘everything will be fine’ after concerns surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s contract situation.
After the German manager confirmed that he would be departing the club at the end of the season, concerns have emerged surrounding the potential future of a number of players.
At the top of that list are Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk who both have their contracts running out next year.
Speaking in Tuesday’s press conference, Klopp stated that the reason that they haven’t renewed their contracts yet is because he wanted to wait until they were told about his departure.
“The club knew about my departure for a while. Why tie the players down and then I say I’m not here anymore? You don’t do business like that,” he said.
“Write what you want, the club is stable. Everything will be fine, I’m 100% sure. I would recommend to stay calm.”
🗣️”Write what you want. This club is stable. 100%. Everything will be fine. I’m 100% sure.”
🗣️”Very often the fans’ concerns are not as big as the media might think – you underestimate the IQ of our supporters.”
