Liverpool may reportedly have already sorted out a new contract for one of their most important players, despite the news not yet being officially confirmed.
The Reds have been dealing with worrying off-the-pitch issues for some time now, with all three of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold being out of contract at the end of the season.
Liverpool fans will no doubt have been worried about the prospect of possibly losing all three of these players on free transfers, but it looks like there’s now some good news on Van Dijk.
According to Fichajes, the Netherlands international has already signed a new two-year contract with the Merseyside giants, committing his future to the club.
The report states that Liverpool are delighted with this development, and one imagines fans will also be celebrating once it’s made official.
Virgil van Dijk staying at Liverpool, but can they keep their other stars?

It seems Van Dijk’s future has now been resolved, but Liverpool need to also ensure Salah and Alexander-Arnold stay put for next season and beyond.
Salah could be heading to Saudi Arabia if recent reports are to be believed, with Gianluigi Longari claiming that Al Hilal look the favourites to sign him.
Meanwhile, El Chiringuito have reported that Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid is already a done deal for next season.
Losing two out of three of these key players would surely go down as a major failure by the Liverpool board, even if keeping Van Dijk is obviously good news.
It’s surprising LFC have allowed themselves to get into this situation, as it’s hard to remember another club facing such a similar transfer nightmare in recent times.
Liverpool fans will hope they can just about get through this, and that important lessons are learned from it so that it doesn’t happen again.
I honestly only hope Virgil stays. Mo has been scoring but anyone who actually watches closely can see he’s lost his explosive pace. His intelligence is why he’s still been scoring but since Xmas, he’s been poor. He’s had a rest so it’s not tiredness. It’s obvious that Virgil hasn’t had a drop off. Yesterday against Bournemouth, he chased down Mbeumo and took the ball off him. Trent is off. That’s plain to see. Connor Bradley is a fantastic right back. Too good to sit on the bench and defensively superior to Trent. Gives the team better balance.
I agree with you 100%. Mo keeps trying to dribble past players and he always loses the ball. Many of our attacks do break down because of Mo. I don’t mind his trademark cutting in onto his left to curl one in but he must stop trying to dribble past players coz that skill has left his locker.
Trent on the other hand is too lazy and often trots back when we’ve been turned over. This hullabaloo about Trents killer passes. It’s currently 1in 5 or 6 at the moment. Frimpong has had a much better season both this one and last and he is younger.
About Mohamad Salah, you’ll need to factor in this obvious but important fact: Salah always draws in two or three defenders. Always! And by every opposing team.
Anyone can see the huge benefits of that for Liverpool.
I agree with you, but even if mo left we are Liverpool and we will go again. I remember when Ian Rush was sold, Torres and we progressed and we will again. No one is bigger than the club. But I know he is a quality player.
Mo is sometimes selfish, but he can create chances for the other front 3. But if he wants to go let him go. Nunez is going to make us proud. This boy is going to be a supper striker.
It will be nice if vigil 5tays as well as sala as for Alexander Ranold he might not stay if he has been bought by Real Madrid Liverpool can always get a good replacement for him anyway. I wish them best of luck
Let hope all of them will sign new contract good news if is truth
More and more utter nonsense and Rubbish from so stupid media and so stupid so called journalists who don’t know anything and real issues behind closed curtain of a players contract issue so all these idiots do is throw rubbish at the public for entertainment useless fools
Mo is not a machine.he is a human .if not score for a match or two that iit does,t mean he is out of order..just thinking why the club did,t sign him a contract,and this effect him.they agree to sign to Virgil..and Mo think why me not..he like to stay more years
I, agree with you, it’s just media that contradicts.
Liverpool administration looked very slow to sort out the situation of Mo. Salah.No doubt that circumstances may affect players performance and concentration in playground.
Mo. Salah records continued outstanding and we should know that any competitive team loose two or three players allover the match in an attempt to stop him.
I think of the three, FSG keeping Virgil Van Dijk for lfc will be the best decision.If they are able to tie down the rest is a bonus.Trent can easily be replaced and so is Mo.Pls FSG get serious and do the right thing for lfc regarding transfers.
Liverpool fun
I agree with you 100%. Mo keeps trying to dribble past players and he always loses the ball. Many of our attacks do break down because of Mo. I don’t mind his trademark cutting in onto his left to curl one in but he must stop trying to dribble past players coz that skill has left his locker.

Glad VVD as signed (if it’s true?) Mo not firing on all cylinders since Xmas, not getting the luck on a few chances to Score and assists, sure he will turn it around and he’s still the main man. 2 year deal and £500k a week is still cheaper than signing a new player so FSG get it done!
Trent is gone…but what’s that go out as a Premier League winner, so giving is all. Was very good against Brentford again…we need to keep backing all three they are the mainstay of this good run we are on
It’s good news if we have signed vigil. As for Salah no one knows what’s going on behind the closed doors, so all this purely speculation. As of his form Salah does that during this period of the season and eventually picks up. True that good as he is most attacks dies with forcing something that won’t happen and he usually doesn’t comeback to help his winger back. The problem is not Salah but the system. Like yesterday we kept on playing wide every attack where some instances we should have quick passes to the top middle. It made it easier for opposing team to defend against us.
Darwin Nunez is another player Liverpool should retain. Despite getting a lot of stick, he just try his best. Even when he didn’t score, he’s such a distraction & nuisance to opposition teams, enabling his team mates to set up scoring opportunities. Glad he scored 2 goals against Brentford – singlehandedly got 2 valuable points for Liverpool. Reminds me of Divock Origi who, despite being on the fringe of the main squad, managed to often popped up & scored very crucial goals
It good he signed but let it not backfired cause age od not on his side and being shuge man he may not be able to carry on at some stage by then you can be exposed it sweet when a player leave when the ovation is loud but I wishes you good luck
It will be nice if vigil 5tays as well as sala as for Alexander Ranold he might not stay if he has been bought by Real Madrid Liverpool can always get a good replacement for him anyway. I wish them best of luck
Fake pony talk
Honestly, VVD is the most crucial.
I would have loved to keep all 3 but given the circumstances.
We won’t miss Trent as much as people make it out to be. I think in a year, we’ll all be saying Bradley suits better. If we can get someone like Kimmich for RB and midfield rotation/cover, that’d be perfect.
Salah is a terrific goalscorer because of his football brain and experience, but if we look at the overall game, there’s also a lot wasted down the right.
The only one who has neither fallen off nor can be bettered is VVD.
Trent will stay. He is a Liverpool boy just waiting for the Captains armband.
Virgil will stay, He is proud to be where he is and not greedy for money.
Mo wants to stay and will do so if his agent allows him to accept the offered rewards.
Job done, just wait and see.
If Trent doesn’t sign up,let him go as well as Mo Salah.It is obviously true they are great assets but if they won’t agree with LFC then should be allowed out.LFC will always remain & won’t disappear b’se Trent rejected a contract offer besides there is Bradley;there is need to get him another partner @that No.2 spot.
