Dirk Kuyt Begs FSG: Keep Our Fantastic Dutchman!…
Liverpool’s very own cheerleader, Dirk Kuyt, is on a mission! He’s practically doing cartwheels outside Anfield’s gates, hollering for Virgil van Dijk to stay put longer than your nan’s Sunday roast. With Virgil’s contract about to do a disappearing act, some are worried he’ll vanish faster than a kid’s Easter egg stash.
As the legendary Dutch defender and his mates Salah and Alexander-Arnold flirt with free agency (and possibly with Saudi beaches), fans are nervous. Kuyt’s not having it though! “Listen,” he practically shouted to The Athletic, “Virgil’s a top bloke, leads like a champ, and has the knee injury scars to prove it. Don’t let him slip through our fingers!”
But, what is Van Dijk actually saying? Besides a cryptic “stay tuned,” he’s playing it cooler than an ice cream truck in December. Even as rumors swirl and Arne “The Slot Machine” Slot pushes his desire to keep the maestro on his team, everyone’s on tenterhooks. Will Van Dijk happily ride off into the Liverpool sunset, or take a dramatic turn down Transfer Boulevard?
