Report: Liverpool star player has agreed to a new two-year contract
Share
Liverpool may have already secured a new contract for one of their key players, although the news has yet to be officially confirmed.
The club has been grappling with concerning off-field issues, with Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all set to be out of contract at the end of the season.
Fans will likely have been anxious about the possibility of losing all three players on free transfers, but it appears there is positive news regarding Van Dijk.
Fichajes reports that the Netherlands international has already agreed to a two-year contract extension with the club, ensuring his future at Anfield.
The report indicates that Liverpool are pleased with this development, and supporters will likely be celebrating once the news is made official.
Virgil van Dijk set to remain at Liverpool, but will they retain their other key players?
While Van Dijk’s future seems secure, Liverpool must now focus on keeping Salah and Alexander-Arnold for the long term.
Salah’s potential move to Saudi Arabia has been suggested by recent reports, with Gianluigi Longari noting that Al Hilal are the frontrunners to sign him.
In addition, El Chiringuito has claimed that Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid is already finalized for next season.
Losing two out of these three crucial players would undoubtedly be a significant setback for Liverpool, even though securing Van Dijk is certainly a positive development.
It is surprising that the club has found itself in this situation, as it is difficult to recall another team facing such a complex transfer dilemma in recent years.
Liverpool fans will be hoping they can navigate through this challenge and that valuable lessons will be learned to prevent such issues in the future.

Arne Slot must unleash key player as Liverpool await crucial answer to big question within 24 hours
In a dramatic 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, Liverpool had to fight back after an early deficit, and the key to their second-half resurgence came from an inspired double substitution. The importance of Kostas Tsimikas and Diogo Jota‘s first touches in this match may not be fully realized until later in the season, but their impact was clear.
For now, Arne Slot will be left reflecting on several missed opportunities, as Forest goalkeeper Mats Sels was in outstanding form, denying Liverpool a crucial victory. Sels was superb, keeping out efforts from Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Jota, while Ola Aina also made a crucial clearance off the line. This resilience from Forest is exactly why they currently sit second in the league, showing their ability to withstand intense pressure from Liverpool’s attacking waves.
Though Forest may not challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title come May, their defense is proving formidable, and a top-four finish looks very attainable, especially with rivals like Chelsea and Manchester City faltering after their own 2-2 draws earlier this week. If Arne Slot truly believes those teams are still title contenders, then no ground was lost here for Liverpool.
In terms of defensive solidity, Forest certainly deserve recognition. Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo were exceptional, exemplifying why Forest have conceded only 20 goals in 21 games—matching Liverpool‘s defensive record. Only Arsenal have conceded fewer.
From the outset, Liverpool controlled the game, dominating possession against a Forest side that opted to sit back rather than press. The hosts were content to invite Liverpool forward and defend deep, but, as in their previous meeting in September, a sharp counterattack caught Liverpool off guard. Chris Wood capitalized on the hosts’ first shot on target, finding the net after just eight minutes.
