Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk has decided to stay at the club, putting an end to speculation surrounding his future. According to reports, Van Dijk will extend his contract with Liverpool until 2027. “Virgil van Dijk will extend his contract with Liverpool!" said Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg.

Despite receiving numerous approaches from other clubs, Van Dijk has chosen to stay at Liverpool. Plettenberg revealed that the 33-year-old world-class centre-back has turned down all other offers. “The 33 y/o world-class centre-back has decided to stay at #LFC, despite receiving numerous approaches from other clubs - all of which he has turned down," Plettenberg posted.

The final details of Virgil Van Dijk's contract extension are now being discussed. According to reports, the plan is for Van Dijk to sign a new two-year deal, keeping him at Liverpool until 2027. “The captain and legend stays on board!” The Dutchman will be 36 years old when his new deal ends.

When asked about his contract negotiations after Liverpool's 3-2 defeat at Craven Cottage last weekend, Van Dijk said: “There is progress, yes.” However, he remained cautious about his future, adding: “I don’t know, we’ll see.” Van Dijk has played every minute of every Premier League game for Liverpool this season.

He added, “Listen, these are internal discussions, and we’ll see. I love the club, I love the fans, and they were there for us again (at Craven Cottage).

“We wanted to reward them but I ask them to be there again on Sunday (against West Ham) and make the stadium an amazing venue like always for us.”
