New Virgil van Dijk deal ticks ever closer as Romano drops dream update for Liverpool fans

A contract extension for Virgil van Dijk now seems to be imminent, with the final pieces of paperwork now being ticked off.

After Liverpool fans woke up to the glorious news on Friday morning that Mo Salah has signed a new deal at Anfield, the club captain is on the verge of doing the very same.

Both players had recently entered the final three months of their existing contracts, but the long-running saga finally seems to be nearing a resolution for the Reds’ number 4 as well as the Egyptian.
