Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are set to put pen to paper and to commit their futures to Liverpool.
The Anfield superstars have been the centre of two separate contract sagas all season, with Salah and Van Dijk both having their current deals expiring this summer, with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to join Real Madrid with his terms with Liverpool also coming to an end in the coming weeks.
However, news has emerged this week that Salah and Van Dijk are set to sign new contracts with Liverpool, with the pair expected to extend their stays with the Reds into the final best years of their incredible careers.
And Fabrizio Romano has now shed some light on when Liverpool could actually announce Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts.
Liverpool want Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk contracts announced ASAP
According to Fabrizio Romano via his GiveMeSport newsletter, Liverpool hope to announce Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts as soon as possible, especially with Alexander-Arnold closing in on a move to Madrid.
Romano wrote: “Liverpool mantain their confidence that both Salah and Van Dijk will stay and sign new deals. The club absolutely want to get it done ASAP, as Trent is getting closer and closer to Real Madrid.”
With Liverpool expected to win the Premier League even after Sunday’s loss against Fulham, supporters will be itching for the club to make their long-awaited announcements on Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts.
And with Liverpool fans in need of a boost after the first real bad run of form this season, the Reds can curry a lot of favour with supporters by announcing Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts this month, with the clock now ticking.
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will also want their new deals announced soon
As well as Liverpool fans growing restless over the nonstop contract drama, Salah and Van Dijk themselves will be more relieved than anyone when their new deals with the Reds are finally announced in the coming weeks.
The duo’s futures have been one of the biggest talking points of the Premier League season with Salah and Van Dijk seemingly both in the dark for much of the year on whether or not Liverpool were going to meet their demands.
Indeed, Salah and Van Dijk committing their futures to Liverpool is nothing short of huge, and the announcement will give the Reds the platform they need to build a squad that can compete for everything next season.
