\n

There is a growing expectation at Liverpool that captain Virgil van Dijk will join forward Mohamed Salah in signing a new contract in the not-too-distant future.<\/b><\/p>\n

Following months of discussions, it is understood Van Dijk is extremely close to signing what would be a new two-year contract.<\/p>\n

Salah, too, is in advanced negotiations<\/a> over a similar contract.<\/p>\n

It’s important to stress that, as things stand, neither deal is complete but at this juncture it would take a remarkable turn of events for Van Dijk or Salah not to be Liverpool players at the start of next season.<\/p>\n

These are two very significant pieces of further good news for Liverpool, who are 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is an importance to both contracts being two years in length. <\/p>\n

The first, and most obvious, benefit to Liverpool is they get to keep two of their most important players.<\/p>\n

But it also means they can avoid a repeat of the unsettling narrative that has clouded Arne Slot’s first season as manager for at least another year.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, barring what would be a remarkable capitulation, are set to win their 20th league title – yet the achievement has come against the backdrop of Van Dijk, Salah and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold approaching the end of their contracts.<\/p>\n

The club’s hopes of retaining Alexander-Arnold have waned in recent weeks, with the right-back in talks with Real Madrid<\/a> over a free transfer in the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Van Dijk re-signing would ease one of the key recruitment issues facing the club heading into the summer.<\/p>\n

Should the 33-year-old have left, Liverpool were likely to enter the market for a new starting central defender.<\/p>\n

Recruitment staff had already begun identifying potential targets, who are primarily left-footed or have experience of playing left-sided centre-back.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi was among those analysed, but the extent of the interest was unclear. Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen has also been watched.<\/p>\n

The plan they put together may never now be executed, though Van Dijk’s central-defensive partner Ibrahima Konate is entering the final 12 months of his contract so Liverpool may have to make a decision on his future if an agreement is not reached before the new season.<\/p>\n

It also remains to be seen whether Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez remain on Merseyside.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the continued presence of Van Dijk eases the necessity for Liverpool to sign an elite – and thus costly – central defender this summer.<\/p>\n

The benefit of retaining Salah is equally clear. With seven games to play, the 32-year-old has already made 54 goal contributions – scoring 32 times – this season.<\/p>\n

Prior to news of the breakthrough in Salah’s talks with Liverpool, sources close to the Saudi Pro League held strong hopes of luring the Egyptian.<\/p>\n

With Liverpool having kept their finances largely intact last summer, they are expected to be active once the market reopens – with a central striker top of their priorities.<\/p>\n

As is the case for most of Europe’s elite clubs, Newcastle forward Alexander Isak would be towards the top of their list – but the prospect of him leaving St James’ Park is unlikely.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are also expected to be in the market for at least one new new full-back given Alexander-Arnold’s talks and lingering doubts over Andy Robertson’s long-term role in Slot’s team.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson are among the players they have been linked with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
