Virgil van Dijk is set to commit his future to Liverpool, with reports suggesting the Dutch defender is on the verge of signing a new contract.
Despite his advancing years, Van Dijk remains one of the world’s top center-backs, as evidenced by his dominant performance against Kylian Mbappe in Liverpool’s recent Champions League victory over Real Madrid.
While the 33-year-old’s current contract expires at the end of the season, it appears that a two-year extension is imminent. This would keep Van Dijk at Anfield until 2027.
The news comes as a significant boost to Liverpool, who are also working to secure new deals for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. While Salah’s future remains uncertain, there is optimism that a deal can be reached.
Alexander-Arnold, who is keen to captain the club, is also expected to extend his contract.
Liverpool fans will be delighted with the prospect of retaining their defensive stalwart and hope that positive news regarding Salah and Alexander-Arnold will follow.
