Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has ended any uncertainty about his future by signing a new two-year contract that commits him to Anfield until the summer of 2027.
The 33-year-old Netherlands international’s previous terms were scheduled to expire once this season concludes and for many months it was unclear if an agreement would be found.
van Dijk continues to earn a salary believed to be in the region of £400,000 ($530k) per week. The wages are largely guaranteed — and expected to maintain his status as Europe’s best-paid defender — with the only incentives relating to team success rather than individual performance.
