Report: Liverpool star set to settle rumors by agreeing to new contract with the club

Several Liverpool players are facing an uncertain future at the club.

Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in the final year of their contracts, and their long-term futures at Anfield remain unresolved.

These three players have been the backbone of Liverpool’s team for years, and even this season, under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, they have helped propel the Merseyside club to the top of both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Their exceptional form has rattled the confidence of Premier League champions Manchester City.

Salah has been linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League, while Real Madrid holds an interest in Alexander-Arnold.

That leaves Van Dijk, and the good news for Liverpool supporters is that the Dutch defender is reportedly close to agreeing to a new contract at Anfield.

As reported by GiveMeSport, the legendary Liverpool centre-back is willing to extend his current contract with the club and continue to lead them under Slot.

It’s hard to picture a Liverpool team without Van Dijk in it. The seasoned defender has played every minute in both the league and the Champions League this season, earning his place as one of the team’s top performers.

Virgil Van Dijk is ready to sign a new deal at Liverpool

Both the player and the club are eager to extend their partnership, and the contract issue is expected to be resolved soon.

Since his move from Southampton, the Dutch defender has significantly changed the club’s fortunes.

Liverpool cannot afford to lose Virgil Van Dijk

Under former manager Jurgen Klopp, he was a crucial figure and played a key role in their successes in both the league and the Champions League.

Liverpool fans will be thrilled to hear that Van Dijk is staying with the club.

However, they will hope for the same from Salah and Alexander-Arnold, though at this stage, their futures remain uncertain.

The details of Van Dijk’s new contract with the club are yet to be revealed.

Real Madrid set to spoil Liverpool and Man City’s summer with €150m signing

The 2025 summer transfer window is shaping up to be crucial for the future of Real Madrid, with the La Liga champions planning to make a significant move by signing both Xabi Alonso and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

Real Madrid’s start to the 2024/25 season has been disappointing, with the team struggling to find form since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. The situation has been further complicated by injuries, making things even more challenging for manager Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Ancelotti, with his extensive experience, will be determined to resolve the issues at hand and is likely to aim for a strong finish to his tenure at the Bernabeu. Despite having a contract that runs until 2026, the 65-year-old is expected to leave the club next summer.

According to Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger, Real Madrid are targeting Xabi Alonso to replace Ancelotti, with the Spanish club hopeful that Alonso can also convince his compatriot, Florian Wirtz, to join him in Madrid.

Hiring Alonso would be a bold move, given that the Spanish coach has faced some struggles in Germany this season. Despite this, he led Bayer Leverkusen to a remarkable league and cup double in the 2023/24 campaign, remaining unbeaten throughout the season. While Alonso is undoubtedly a talented coach, he is still relatively inexperienced at the highest level. However, Real Madrid does not view this as a significant risk.

Will Florian Wirtz join Real Madrid next season?
Wirtz has been linked with a move to Real Madrid since this summer, with several top European clubs expressing interest in the midfielder after his outstanding 2023/24 season with Bayer Leverkusen.

Reports from the Liverpool Echo suggest that, according to German sources, both Real Madrid and Liverpool showed interest in Wirtz ahead of the current season, although Liverpool’s pursuit was not deemed serious. It was also reported that Manchester City and Bayern Munich were in the running for the 21-year-old, who Bayer Leverkusen values at around €150m (£125m).

While the transfer fee in 2025 may not be as high, it will likely still be substantial, as the Bundesliga side holds all the leverage with Wirtz’s contract at the BayArena running until 2027.
