During the conversation, Van Dyck apologized to Cambus for his previous statements during the first leg, as he had commented on the objections of the sports director of Paris Saint -Germain regarding an arbitration decision, saying: “The French league is not my friend,” referring to the difference in the nature of the arbitration in the two competitions.
In addition to an apology, Van Dyck expressed his admiration for the performance of Paris Saint -Germain, indicating that he considers the French team one of the strongest teams he faced this season, and even one of the best teams during the past three years, and this praise was the approval of Paris Saint -Germain officials, which contributed to calming the atmosphere between the two parties.
The future of Van Dyck … to where?
Despite this friendly conversation, the future of Van Dyck with Liverpool is still unclear. With his approaching ending its end and the lack of progress in renewal negotiations, speculation is increasing regarding the possibility of his departure from “Anfield”.
These doubts increased after the player’s statement that he does not know what the future hides, stressing that his focus is currently on ending the season in the best possible way.
In his remarks after the match, Van Dyck said: “I do not have the slightest idea of what will happen, I still do not know until now, I only focus on the remaining ten matches of the season, if there is new, you will know it at the appropriate time.”
He added: “There are talks behind the scenes, but at the present time, I do not have a clear answer about my future.”
After the European exit, Liverpool faces a major challenge to resolve the future of its stars, as it has not yet been reached to an agreement to renew the contracts of several prominent players, including Muhammad Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
At the same time, the team is preparing for the Carabau Cup final next Sunday against Newcastle United at Wembley, in an attempt to achieve its first title this season.
