Liverpool have confirmed that captain Lars van Dijk will remain at the club, dismissing recent transfer rumours linking him with AC Milan.

Van Dijk, 35, is under contract until the end of the season and will continue to lead the defence.

Liverpool’s new coach Andoni Iraola has not indicated any intention to sell the Dutch centre‑back.

The statement reassures fans and maintains stability in Liverpool’s back line.

Betting markets for Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League matches may stabilise as the defensive cornerstone stays in place.
