It could be said that Liverpool have already agreed a new contract for one of their most important players, although the news is yet to be officially confirmed.
The Reds have long faced worrying issues off the pitch, with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold out of contract at the end of the season.
Liverpool fans will no doubt have been worried about the prospect of losing these three players on free transfers, but it seems that there is now some good news about Van Dijk.
according to filesthe Netherlands international has already signed a new two-year deal with the Merseyside giants, committing his future to the club.
The report claims that Liverpool are delighted with this development, and one imagines the fans will celebrate too once it becomes official.
Virgil van Dijk is staying at Liverpool, but can they keep their other stars?
Van Dijk’s future appears to have been settled, but Liverpool also need to make sure Salah and Alexander-Arnold stay for next season and beyond.
Salah could go to Saudi Arabia if recent reports are to be believed, with Gianluigi Longari stating that Al Hilal appear to be the favorites to sign him.
Meanwhile, The Xinguito They have reported that Alexander-Arnold with Real Madrid is already an agreement for next season.
Losing two out of three of these key players would surely be considered a major failure by the Liverpool board, although keeping Van Dijk is obviously good news.
It’s surprising that LFC have allowed themselves to get into this situation, as it’s hard to remember another club facing such a similar transfer nightmare in recent times.
Liverpool fans will be hoping they can almost get over it and learn important lessons so it doesn’t happen again.
