Virgil van Dijk has revealed that he has yet to have any fresh contract talks with Liverpool, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season. There is nothing to report on that.” Virgil is too composed and experienced to give away any meaningful details in the press unless he planned to beforehand, but it does make me wonder… Here is what I want to know: Are Liverpool, FSG and the new owners, 1892 Holdings, willing to offer van Dijk a new deal?

A new deal for van Dijk The Dutchman is currently earning £400,000 per week, so that’s where negotiations will begin between van Dijk, his agents and Liverpool. That said, I’d really love to know whether there are talks planned for later in the season or, at least, that there is the potential for such a conversation, because keeping van Dijk, particularly while young Jeremy Jacquet is proving capable of being his heir, is a must for Liverpool.

Does the club believe there is value in offering a 35-year-old van Dijk a new deal? Therefore, the way I see it, the only way to get value from this situation is to keep van Dijk by extending his deal.
