Van Dijk set to follow Salah with new Liverpool deal agreed | OneFootball

Virgil van Dijk will sign his new deal at Liverpool imminently with an agreement reached with the club.

Van Dijk’s current deal expires at the end of the season but the Dutch defender will turn down an exit in favour of recommitting to the Reds.

An agreement has been reached on an extension for the Liverpool captain, whose new deal will run until 2027. It’s a massive boost for Arne Slot’s side, following the confirmation that Mohamed Salah has penned his extension at Anfield.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that all the details of Van Dijk’s new deal have been agreed and an announcement will be made before the end of the season. Last week, Van Dijk said ‘progress’ had been made on a new deal.

Van Dijk has been an integral part of Liverpool’s title challenge this season with the 33-year-old having started all 31 league games for the Premier League leaders.

He leads the Premier League for touches and passes into the final third this season and ranks among the division’s leaders for aerial duels won (2nd), interceptions (5th) and clearances (7th).

Liverpool’s out-of-contract trio of Salah, Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have dominated headlines off the pitch this season.

The news that two of those players have agreed fresh terms is welcomed, though it is understood that Alexander-Arnold is open to a summer move to Real Madrid.
