Fabrizio Romano says everything is going on for Virgil Van Dijk to sign a new deal with Liverpool.
Dutch internationals like Mohamed Sarah and Trent Alexander Arnold were not expected to sign Liverpool at the end of this season.
But now it appears that Van Dick has joined Sarah and unlike Alexander Arnold, he is set to commit his future with a new contract.
Liverpool’s right-back appears to be giving an advanced talk about a free transfer to Real Madrid, according to BBC Sport and others, but Romano has better news about Vandic’s future.
Liverpool fans will be pleased that Van Dick will stay. Romano tends to become one of the most trusted journalists in the industry with stories like this.
Virgil van Dyke is one of Liverpool’s most important players, and it seems like the right move to keep him up and reward his great form with a new deal, even if he’s not younger.
Virgil Van Dijk is there with Liverpool’s best signature
Van Dijk joined the LFC from Southampton in January 2018, but some fans may have been a bit skeptical of the big transfer fees the club paid him at the time.
The Dutch were shining in saints, but there is no guarantee that players could step up from small clubs to larger clubs.
Harry Maguire wasn’t that successful when he moved a similar big money from Leicester City to Manchester United in 2019.
But Van Dik is now with a very good defender in Premier League history and looks ready to win his second trophy by the end of this season.
