Football Insider reports that Van Dijk has no intention of leaving Liverpool on his current contract, which expires on June 30, 2025, after playing a key role in Arne Slot’s side’s ongoing title challenge.

Van Dijk has started every Premier League and Champions League game so far this season, helping Liverpool top both competitions, but his age, which will turn 34 at the start of the 2025-26 season, has raised concerns over his future.

There are reportedly positive signs from both Liverpool and Van Dijk that they are keen to reach an agreement on a new contract, although the 33-year-old centre-back has previously rejected an initial offer, but it is a matter of standing firm on the standards set, rather than an unwillingness to extend the deal.

However, Liverpool will need to speed up the process of securing a new deal for Van Dijk, as well as Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are also contracted until the end of the season, because when pre-contracts with overseas clubs can be agreed on on January 1, 2025, there will be uncertainty.
