Report – £240,000-a-week star poised to finalize Liverpool agreement.

Liverpool has begun efforts to secure long-term contracts for their key players, having already reached new terms with Jarell Quansah.

However, the club faces the potential loss of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold at the end of the season, as all three can negotiate pre-contract agreements with overseas clubs starting in January.

On a positive note, Football Insider reports that Van Dijk is inclined to accept a new contract with Liverpool.

He has conveyed to close friends his intention to remain at Anfield beyond this season and is eager to sign an extension with Arne Slot’s team.

The 19-time English champions are equally committed to finalizing the deal and retaining the Netherlands international.

Discussions regarding a new contract are expected to commence shortly.

Renewal of Van Dijk is crucial

Despite being 33 years old, Van Dijk continues to perform at an elite level for Liverpool, having started the current season impressively.

Under his captaincy, the Reds have achieved five clean sheets and conceded only two goals in the Premier League so far.

The first goal conceded was against Nottingham Forest, marking Slot’s only defeat to date, where Conor Bradley failed to prevent Callum Hudson-Odoi, leading to a shot that Konate could not block.

The second goal came against Wolves, where Konate mishandled a straightforward situation.

Van Dijk, who currently earns approximately £240,000 per week at Anfield, delivered a stellar performance against Crystal Palace over the weekend, earning the player of the match accolade.

Therefore, securing a new contract for the veteran defender is imperative. What are your thoughts?
