While Van Dijk would love to stay at Liverpool, he admitted that he was only thinking about their next Premier League game against Manchester City.

"What a direct question from you! They don’t ask me that direct," he told Spanish outlet El Chiringuito after Liverpool's  2-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

"But listen, there is, at the moment, nothing I can say. The only thing that I can say is I’m fully focused on Man City from now on." 

Van Dijk was then pushed over whether he could join Real Madrid.

He added: "Do they? I don’t know (need a centre back).” 

When pushed again, he added: "But (Antonio) Rudiger is there, no?”
