Fabrizio Romano has added to his earlier claims regarding a new contract for Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk with some fresh information.
Earlier in the window, HITC Football covered the Italian’s claims that Liverpool were working on new deals for Fabinho, Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk.
At the time, Romano said the Reds were concentrating more on deals for Fabinho and the Dutchman than they were for Salah.
Now, the transfer specialist has elaborated on his earlier information regarding Van Dijk.
In an article for CBS Sports, Romano claims that negotiations with the £75 million man are set to begin in the coming months.
That should come as hugely exciting news for Liverpool supporters.
Why? Well, in our view, it’s likely that Van Dijk puts pen to paper – where else would he want to be right now?
Jurgen Klopp has built what is arguably the best side in Europe.
Additionally, the former Celtic man remains as Europe’s best centre-back in our view, despite his injury.
Nobody across Europe has come close to the levels he was at before Jordan Pickford’s wild lunge.
Van Dijk’s current deal runs until June 2023, according to Transfermarkt.
However, it seems as if Liverpool are keen to both tie him down for even longer, and reward him for his unbelievable efforts prior to his injury.
