Following Oranje's elimination from the 2024 UEFA European Championship by England at the semi-final stage, the central defender claimed that he would be seriously considering his future with his national team.
It was his first time reaching the semi-finals of a major tournament with his nation, and it seemed he would not have the opportunity to play in the final of an international competition as he pondered his future.
However, according to Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman, the 2019 Ballon d'Or runner-up will likely play at the next FIFA World Cup following a recent conversation he had with his compatriot.
"I noticed how Virgil was feeling, so I thought it was important to visit him," Koeman told De Telegraaf.
"But he indicated that he still wants to go for it for two years, towards the World Cup. I have that feeling with him too, despite the fact that he did not reach his level at the last European Championship.
"He has filled [the role of captain] very well and we have also discussed how he can manage that better in combination with his own game. It is very positive that he is in front of the group like that, but you have to reach your own level first.

"That is the most important thing. He thought he was too busy with others, he indicated. But he was also not chosen for the best Premier League team for nothing."
