Read Time:1 Minute, 12 Second
After months of uncertainty, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has finally put an end to his future concerns by signing a new two-year contract.
The Dutch center-back, 33, was in the last season of his previous contract, which ended in the summer of 2025.
But after coming from Southampton in a $95 million (£75 million/€90 million) transfer, he has now signed a seven-year deal.
After Jordan Henderson relocated to Saudi Arabia in 2023, Van Dijk was elected captain of Liverpool and has since featured in nearly 300 appearances for the Reds.
Both the Premier League and the Champions League have already been won by him.
“There wasn’t any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family. I’m of Liverpool. Someone called me the other day an adopted Scouser – I’m really proud to hear these things, it gives me a great feeling.”
“What the future will bring I have no idea at the moment. I can only tell you that discussions have been started up and we will see. I feel very good, physically, mentally and I am having fun.
“Discussions are ongoing with the right people and when it’s time to make a decision or whatever, I think you guys [the media] will know it as well. But now full commitment and focus is on Liverpool and to be successful this season. So we will see.”
