With his contract coming to an end, many were doubting whether Virgil van Dijk would sign an extension with Liverpool. The 33-year-old center-back has been incredible for the Reds since joining. The defender’s future at Anfield was uncertain ever since Jurgen Klopp’s departure. At the same time, he is also not getting younger. So, there was a real chance of him leaving. But, the 33-year-old has shed some light upon his future at Anfield. He wants to stay with the Reds. At the same time, he will also be open to penning down a new deal with them. The news is an absolute delight for the red half of the Merseyside fans.
Virgil van Dijk set for Liverpool contract extension
As per mirror.co.uk, the center-back rejected offers from Saudi. At the same time, he is willing to play for the Reds for at least another two years. So, it seems like the plan is quite clear for the Dutchman. He wants to play at the very top at least until he is 35. Fans will be hoping that van Dijk and Liverpool can figure out the technicalities of the deal and sign a contract extension soon. The center-back has been a crucial player for them. Not just as a defender, but also as a captain.
Ally McCoist reacts
As per tbrfootball.com, Ally McCoist was very happy upon hearing the news. He went on to say how ‘brilliant’ it would be for Liverpool and van Dijk to sign a contract extension. But, even with the Dutchman’s future secured, the Reds still have many pressing concerns. Trent Alexander-Arnold is also in a similar situation with his contract expiring next summer. But, Real Madrid have been lurking around him too. Also, Mohamed Salah is also enduring the same scenario. The Reds will be keen to try and negotiate a new deal and secure their future.
