Former Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has predicted a one-year contract extension for club captain Virgil van Dijk.

Van Dijk is well inside the final year of his terms at Anfield and said after Sunday’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace that he would be open to extending his near eight-year spell on Merseyside.

Lovren played alongside Van Dijk for around 18 months at Liverpool, winning the Champions League, Club World Cup and Premier League as colleagues before he left for Zenit St Petersburg in 2020.

“It will be strange when Virgil van Dijk leaves Liverpool, but at some point it has to come to an end,” Lovren told Hajper.

“It’ll be important for him, the fans and the club that he leaves at the right time, if he stays at his level then you can see a one-year extension, but of course he’ll have to keep proving that on the pitch.

“He is without doubt one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players. You just need to look at the stats.

“Look at what he achieved and what he won, it speaks for itself.”
