Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has moved fans with an emotional social media post dedicated to departing teammates Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.
Following the news of Robertson’s exit, Van Dijk shared a series of photos from their nine years together, describing the period as “a whole era” rather than just a chapter.
The Dutchman’s message highlighted the deep bond between the trio, who were cornerstones of the team that conquered Europe and the Premier League.
“You came as teammates, you leave as legends… and more importantly, you leave as family,” Van Dijk wrote on Instagram.
The captain’s post reflected the sombre mood around Anfield as the reality of a major squad transition sets in.
Van Dijk himself has admitted that the current season has been “unacceptable” in terms of results, but his public show of unity suggests the dressing room remains tight-knit.
Fans have flooded the comments with messages of gratitude, acknowledging that the departure of both the club’s primary goalscorer and its legendary left-back represents the final closing of the Klopp chapter.
