Ally McCoist now reacts to ‘brilliant news’ he has heard from Liverpool
Liverpool fans have just received some excellent news over the international break.
Supporters of the Reds have had an enjoyable 2024/25 campaign so far, with Arne Slot winning all three of his Premier League matches in charge, including a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Now, there has been another boost for Liverpool fans – one Ally McCoist has just reacted to…
Ally McCoist responds after Virgil van Dijk comments
The 61-year-old has now shared his thoughts on talkSPORT after Virgil van Dijk revealed he would like to extend his contract at Anfield.
There has been plenty of talk about the Netherlands international, as well as Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, as all three Liverpool stars find themselves out of contract at the end of the season.
While it remains to be seen what happens with Alexander-Arnold, who has been linked to Real Madrid, and Salah, Van Dijk has now eased concerns over his future in a revealing interview.
As quoted by the Mirror, the Dutchman : “At both teams (Liverpool and the Netherlands) I am still Virgil van Dijk, the big leader, and I certainly want to remain that for the next two years.”
After hearing those comments, McCoist said on talkSPORT at 7:20am (Monday 9th September): “Brilliant news. Delighted. Brilliant news. Brilliant news for everybody.”
Therefore – unless Liverpool have other ideas – you would expect Van Dijk to sit down and negotiate a new contract with the Reds soon.
Many questions marks at Liverpool
While it is fantastic news to hear that Van Dijk wants to stay, there are many questions marks about what the future holds for Salah and Alexander Arnold.
As aforesaid, Real Madrid like the England international.
However, Salah is not believed to be keen on a move to Saudi Arabia, and the Egypt international is yet to be concretely linked to another club, so he could well opt to follow Van Dijk in signing a new deal, unless another option emerges.
Whatever the Liverpool No.11 and Alexander-Arnold decide to do, the Reds must be prepared for the worst.
All three of the aforementioned names are arguably the most important players at Liverpool, so it will surely require a lot of homework from Michael Edwards – CEO of Football at Anfield – to replace them.
