Liverpool are keen on tying Virgil van Dijk to a new contract instead of losing his services in the summer transfer window.
Virgil van Dijk is nearing the end of his contract at Liverpool, and a report from Football Insider has claimed that the Merseyside club will open contract talks with the defensive mainstay at the end of the season.
The 66-cap Dutch international has been outstanding for Liverpool since joining the club, and he has helped them win every single trophy at club level. There is no doubt that the experienced defender is one of the best players in the world, and keeping him at the club will be a top priority for the Reds.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince Virgil van Dijk to sign a new contract with them. The veteran is one of the best defenders in the world, and he will help Liverpool compete for trophies in the coming seasons as well.
Liverpool are already parting ways with charismatic manager Jurgen Klopp, and they cannot afford to let their best players leave the club as well. They must hold on to the 32-year-old central defender beyond this season.
Liverpool must convince van Dijk to stay
It remains to be seen whether the defensive mainstay is ready to commit his long-term future to the club. Earlier this season, he hinted that he could be open to an exit in the near future after it was announced that Klopp will take a sabbatical from management.
Virgil van Dijk will probably wait to gauge the ambition of the club before signing a new deal with them. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Meanwhile, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have also shown interest in him.
Liverpool have looked quite vulnerable defensively this season, and Van Dijk is undoubtedly the best defender at the club. Losing him would be a devastating blow for the Premier League side, and they must do everything in their power to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
Liverpool will be hoping to fight for trophies next season, and they must hold onto the spine of their squad if they want to compete with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City. 66-cap Dutch international Virgil van Dijk will be a key player for them, and he is the captain of the club as well.
