Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are closing in on new two-year contracts at Liverpool. Both players had entered the final months of their existing deals but a breakthrough in negotiations has been reached and the pair are set to sign new terms through to June 2027.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has put pen to paper on a new contract at Anfield. Van Dijk’s previous deal had been due to expire at the end of the season and there had been growing speculation that the 33-year-old could be keen for a fresh challenge after seven-and-a-half years on Merseyside.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes extending the contracts of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah is reflective of the "amazing ambitions" the club has going forward.
