Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract with the club.

The 33-year-old centre-back’s previous contract had been set to expire at the end of the season.

But the Dutchman has joined forward Mohamed Salah, who signed a two-year extension last week, in committing his future to the club.

“It was always Liverpool,” said Van Dijk, who had been linked with a move to Paris St-Germain.

“That was the case. It was always in my head, it was always the plan and it was always Liverpool.”

The Dutchman, who has made 314 appearances for the Reds, was named Liverpool captain in 2023 following Jordan Henderson’s departure.
