"Liverpool centre-half Virgil van Dijk does not want to discuss what was said between himself and then-Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak after the 2025 Carabao Cup Final. The two players were seen to exchange words shortly after the final whistle, in which Isak scored what proved to be the winning goal for the Magpies. Some supporters have speculated the Liverpool skipper mentioned something about a summer move to Anfield given the nature of this past summer's long-running transfer saga."
""I'm not telling you," the Dutchman said to reporters. "Maybe in two years time or three years time, I will tell you. But not now. I can't remember.""
Virgil van Dijk refused to disclose what he said to Alexander Isak after the 2025 Carabao Cup Final, when Isak scored the winning goal. The pair exchanged words after the final whistle, and some supporters speculated van Dijk referenced a summer move to Anfield amid a long-running transfer saga. Isak completed an Anfield switch on deadline day as a British transfer record signing after leaving Newcastle following a strike. Isak scored 23 Premier League goals in 2024-25 and played a key role in Newcastle's return to the Champions League. Van Dijk publicly welcomed Isak but set a physical challenge after Isak missed Liverpool’s 1-0 win at Turf Moor due to fitness.
