There’s been one topic Liverpool fans couldn’t ignore all season.

Not goals.



Virgil van Dijk.

They are part of Liverpool’s identity.

The fear of losing key figures, especially Van Dijk, hung over the season.

Every week brought more uncertainty?

Would he go?

Now, Liverpool fans can finally breathe.

Van Dijk is staying.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Virgil van Dijk has agreed a new contract with Liverpool.

The length hasn’t been officially announced, but reports say it’s a two-year extension.

This means the Dutch defender is likely to remain at Anfield until June 2028.

This ends speculation that has followed Van Dijk for over a year.

His previous deal was set to expire in June 2025.

With Klopp’s departure, many wondered if Van Dijk would follow.

But instead, he’s committing to the new era.

This is a huge win for Arne Slot.

The Liverpool captain has played every minute of this season’s Premier League campaign.

He’s led a defence that has only conceded 25 goals in 31 matches.

At 33, Van Dijk is still a key part of the squad.

Now, he’s also part of the future.

His extension follows Mohamed Salah’s earlier renewal.

Two out of the “Contract Three” have now signed.

Van Dijk staying sends a message.

The rebuild isn’t about tearing down – it’s about continuing with leaders who know what it takes to win.

And now, there’s no more guessing?

The captain is here to stay.
