Liverpool FC has secured another major piece of its future after captain Virgil van Dijk signed a new contract, ending months of uncertainty surrounding the Dutch defender’s status.

In a season where we should be counting down the days until Premier League glory, we have been stuck discussing the situations of the ‘Contract Three’.

But after Mohamed Salah extended his terms at Anfield, the Liverpool skipper has now followed suite.

The deal was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, and while no official length was disclosed, it’s been widely reported that it will be a 2-year extension.

This ensures the 33-year-old will most likely remain at Anfield until June 2028, solidifying his role as the cornerstone of Liverpool’s defense during Arne Slot’s managerial transition.

Van Dijk’s contract saga had intensified over the past year, with his previous deal set to expire in June 2025.

The Dutchman has played every minute of their Premier League campaign, anchoring a defense that has conceded just 25 goals in 31 matches.
