Virgil van Dijk reveals why he turned down PSG to sign new Liverpool deal…

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has delighted fans by announcing that he is on the verge of signing a new contract with the club, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

Van Dijk’s existing deal is set to expire at the end of the season, leading to speculation about his future alongside teammates Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

After Liverpool’s exit from the Champions League in the Round of 16 against PSG, Van Dijk was spotted conversing with the club’s president and sporting director, which sparked rumors of a possible transfer.

Reports from French media indicated that the Dutch defender was seriously contemplating an offer from PSG.

However, Van Dijk has now provided the encouraging update that Liverpool supporters were hoping for.

Regarding his contract situation, Van Dijk stated, “There is progress.”

When asked about his commitment to Liverpool, he replied, “I don’t know, we’ll see. These are internal discussions, and we’ll see what unfolds.”

Sources close to the club have indicated that constructive discussions have occurred between Van Dijk’s representatives and Liverpool, with both parties eager to finalize an agreement soon.

While Trent Alexander-Arnold seems likely to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, and Salah is reportedly seeking £400,000 per week in a new contract, Van Dijk appears to be favoring a stay at Anfield.

As Trent Alexander-Arnold seems increasingly poised to make a free transfer to Real Madrid this summer, and Salah is reportedly seeking a new contract worth £400,000 per week, Van Dijk appears inclined to remain at Anfield.

The 33-year-old center-back has played a crucial role in Liverpool’s achievements since his transfer from Southampton in 2018 for £75 million.

He has secured both the Premier League and Champions League titles during his tenure with the Reds and continues to be a key player in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

With Liverpool currently holding an 11-point lead over Arsenal in the Premier League and only seven matches left to play, Van Dijk may soon add another domestic title to his accolades, further enhancing his legacy.
