Key Takeaways:
Virgil van Dijk, just like Mohamed Salah, will remain at Liverpool beyond the current season, the club officially confirmed. The captain has signed a new contract that extends his stay at Anfield until 2027. His previous deal was due to expire on June 30.
“I’m very happy and very proud,” said the 33-year-old Dutchman. “Right now, while I’m talking about it, so many emotions are going through my head. It’s a feeling of pride, a feeling of joy. It’s just incredible. The journey I’ve had so far in my career, and the opportunity to continue it for another two years at this club, is something amazing and I’m so happy.”

According to The Athletic, van Dijk’s salary remains at approximately £400,000 per week.
“It was always Liverpool. That’s how it’s been. It’s always been in my head, it was always the plan, and it was always Liverpool. I never had any doubts that this was the place for me and my family. I’m part of Liverpool. Recently someone called me an ‘adopted Scouser.’ I’m very proud to hear things like that, it gives me an incredible feeling,” the centre-back added.
Liverpool brought van Dijk in from Southampton in January 2018 for nearly €85 million. Since joining the Reds, he has helped the club win seven major trophies, including the Premier League and the Champions League.
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains the last major Liverpool player with an expiring contract, and it currently appears almost certain that he will leave the club, with a move to Real Madrid looking likely.
