Virgil van Dijk's new contract with Liverpool has officially been confirmed. The Reds' captain expressed that staying at Liverpool was always his primary plan, despite speculation regarding his and other players' futures as they approached free agency. Van Dijk reiterated his pride in being part of the Liverpool community, acknowledging his identity as an 'adopted Scouser.' While both he and Mohamed Salah have renewed their contracts, concerns remain over Trent Alexander-Arnold's future, who may leave for Real Madrid. Van Dijk, 33, continues to assert his critical role in the team for years to come.
It was always Liverpool. That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool.
There wasn't any doubt in my head that this is the place to be for me and my family. I'm one of Liverpool.
Keeping Salah and Van Dijk is huge for LFC, but fans will be disappointed that it looks like Alexander-Arnold won't be joining them in signing a new contract.
