Virgil van Dijk’s Liverpool contract is up at the end of the season.
The Liverpool captain could leave the club on a ♓free transf🏅er in 2025, but, the Reds are working to get a new deal done.
Liverpool are confident of ꦺgetting a deal done with Van Dijk, but, accor▨ding to , a contract was rejected this wee🌄k.
Speaking on the Walk On Podcast, James Pearce has been discussing Van Dijk’s situation, and he says that there are still three points ওof contention in negotiations over a new contract.

The issues surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s new contract
Pearce shared what he knows about V♔an Dijk’s new deal.
The journalist says that the Dutchman sti꧒ll has some issues re🍷garding this new deal, while also explaining the rumours that a deal was going to be announced last week.
“Of course, on January 1st, he could potentially si𝓀gn a pre-contract with a club overseas, but I don’t think he sees that date as some kind of dramatic cutoff,” Pearce said.
“I think to be honesꦑt, it’s just the process, isn’t it? In terms of you 🌱make an offer, it would be very surprising if you would accept the first offer that comes your way. Then clearly, there’s some negotiating and haggling to be done over the basic terms, the bonus structure, and then also the length of the deal regarding van Dijk.
“But yeah, I’m still confident I am. I know there was some rumours doing the rounds, wasn’t there, last week, that it was already a don🔴e deal and it was going to get announced on Friday.
“That was a course people were putting two and two together and getting 17 after Slot decided to do his press conference on Thursdaꦉy rather than Friday. People thought that had almost cleared the decks for a big Friday announcement when the reality was Slot just had lots of family over from Holland and wanted to spend a few hours with them on Friday morning.”
What about Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold?
Van Dijk’s contract does ne🌠ed ironing out, but,♕ as Pearce says, he’s still confident that a deal can be done.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are both out of contract next summer too, so ꦚwhat is there status?
Liverpool are confident ab🌼out agreeing deals with all three players.
Salah’s recent contract talks have been positive, while Salah is now open to signing a one-year extension.
By all𝐆 accounts, Alexander-Arnold’s situation is a tad more com👍plicated.
Alexander-Arnold is being courted by Real Madrid, and when Los Blancos come calling, it🌠’s always very hard to say no.
Liverpool are flying high in the Premier League at the moment, but there are some serious situations bubbling behind-the-scenes that need✅ 🌄sorting.
