Virgil Van Dijk And Alisson Backer Contracts with Liverpool Renew

-


Liverpool have put new contracts for Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson Becker to the top of their list of priorities, it is claimed.
The centre-back and goalkeeper have been instrumental in the Reds’ rise since joining in January and summer 2018 respectively, with Liverpool only losing once in the Premier League during the time they have been together at the club.
While Liverpool appear to have risen to a perch as the strongest club in the world, having won the Champions League and Club World Cup in 2019 and maintaining a huge lead in the Premier League this season, rumours surrounding interest in their top players has not gone away.
Recently, it was claimed that Italian giants Juventus were plotting a huge bid for Van Dijk as they looked to take advantage of the Dutchman’s apparent willingness for a new challenge in the later years of his career.
The Sun claim that the Serie A champions’ interest is real, and they would be willing to spend a club record £150m on the 28-year-old.
However, The Independent reveal that Liverpool hope to ward off interest in their biggest stars by offering them new contracts – with Alisson and Van Dijk hopefully following the likes of Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold in signing new deals.
Robertson was rewarded with a five-year extension in January 2019 after growing into one of Europe’s best full-backs since his move from Hull City, while fellow full-back Alexander-Arnold penned fresh terms with his boyhood club in the same month.

Liverpool's season so far: August

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead. An eventful first 45 minutes also saw Adrian make his debut for the club just four days after signing, the goalkeeper replacing the injured Alisson Becker for his first of 11 consecutive appearances in the league and Europe.
