Virgil said, "Discussions are ongoing, we will see what happens in the future," as per BBC Sports.

The 33-year-old added, "My full focus is on Liverpool, wanting to win games that are ahead of me and nothing else."

"What the future will bring I have no idea at the moment. I can only tell you that discussions have started and we will see," the player further added.
