Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has confirmed that negotiations for a new contract, aimed at keeping him at Anfield, are progressing.
The 33-year-old Dutch defender, along with teammates Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is currently set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
Following Liverpool’s recent loss to Fulham, Van Dijk acknowledged “progress” in the contract discussions, though he refrained from disclosing specific details, citing the confidential nature of the talks.
He emphasised his affection for the club and its fans, appealing for their continued support in upcoming matches.
With Liverpool nearing their second Premier League title in six years and holding a significant lead in the table, the contract situations of Van Dijk, Salah, and Alexander-Arnold have become a point of concern.
Speculation surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid has particularly stirred fan reactions.
Despite the contract uncertainty, Van Dijk stressed that the team’s primary focus remains on securing the league title.
He underscored the importance of recovering from their recent defeat and concentrating on their upcoming match against West Ham.
