Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Van Dijk Stays Red Until 2027
Caption: Van Dijk Stays Red Until 2027. Virgil van Dijk has signed a two-year contract extension with Liverpool, keeping him at Anfield beyond the end of the season. The 33-year-old joins Mohamed Salah in renewing his commitment to the club, after the Egyptian extended his deal last week. Despite speculation linking him to PSG, Van Dijk said he never had doubts: “It was always the plan, always Liverpool.” Appointed captain in 2023, the Dutchman has made over 300 appearances and says he feels like an “adopted Scouser.” Since his £75m arrival in 2018, Van Dijk has helped the Reds lift the Premier League, Champions League, and more. Under new boss Arne Slot, Van Dijk is central to Liverpool’s title charge, aiming to equal Manchester United’s 20 league titles. Though unsure in March about staying, Van Dijk said negotiations had progressed—now he’s «so happy» to extend his journey. With Salah and Van Dijk secured, attention turns to Trent Alexander-Arnold—out of contract in July and linked to Real Madrid.
