WOWWW. The big man’s staying put! Virgil van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool, keeping the rock at the back in red until 2027! This is massive news for the Reds and a real statement of intent ahead of what’s shaping up to be a historic summer at Anfield.
Van Dijk, Liverpool’s captain and heartbeat of the defence, will continue leading the line under fellow Dutchman Arne Slot. His new deal could see him earn up to £400,000 a week with bonuses a deserved reward for a season where he’s been nothing short of world-class.
Let’s be real there’s no centre-back in the game right now who reads the play, commands the backline, and leads like Virgil. At 33, he’s aging like fine wine and is just six points away from lifting Liverpool’s 20th league title. That’s legendary status.
Van Dijk’s love for the club shines through every word. “I’m one of Liverpool,” he said. “Someone called me an adopted Scouser that means everything.”
With Mo Salah already locked in until 2027, this double renewal sends one clear message: Liverpool are not here to mess around.
Trent might be off to Madrid, but the spine of the squad remains strong. VVD isn’t just staying he’s staying to win. Again. And again.
This is what elite mentality looks like. Let the world know Van Dijk is Red, and the dynasty continues.
