Premier League

Liverpool

<p>Liverpool have confirmed the 33-year-old has extended his stay with the club 'beyond the 2024/25 season'. The Dutchman was out of contract this summer but now he has come to an agreement with the Reds, with the defender himself saying he has signed for another two years until 2027.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told the <a href="https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/virgil-van-dijk-signs-new-liverpool-fc-contract" target="_blank">club's website</a>: “I’m very happy, very proud. There are so many emotions obviously that go through my head right now speaking about it. It’s a proud feeling, it’s a feeling of joy. It’s just incredible. The journey I’ve had so far in my career, to be able to extend it with another two years at this club is amazing and I’m so happy.”</p><p><em><strong></strong></em></p>

WHAT VAN DIJK SAID

<p>Van Dijk, Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been part of a huge contract saga for most of the season as they were all set to be out of contract this summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-stays-liverpool-confirm-new-deal-egyptian-king-contract/blt625460e1eefc582d" target="_blank">Salah and now Van Dijk</a> have been convinced to be part of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arne-slot-mohamed-salah-contract-extension-sign-players-liverpool-summer-transfer-window/blt6385f426101fbd70" target="_blank">manager Arne Slot's project</a> but Alexander-Arnold seems <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/trent-liverpool-accused-mohamed-salah-contract-extension-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-free-transfer-nears/bltfe0672346aa7c4b4" target="_blank">set to head to Real Madrid</a>.
