April 17, 2025

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract extension, putting an end to months of speculation about his future. The 33-year-old Dutch defender, whose previous deal was set to expire in 2025, reaffirmed his commitment to the club, stating there was “no doubt” about staying.

Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton in 2018 for £75 million and has since made nearly 300 appearances, winning both the Premier League and Champions League. Proudly referring to himself as an “adopted Scouser,” he emphasized his dedication to Liverpool and his focus on success in the coming seasons.
