“Ornstein Drops Major Update on Salah and Van Dijk’s Liverpool Extensions”
“Ornstein Reveals Length of Salah and Van Dijk’s New Liverpool Deals”
Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk look set to commit their futures to Liverpool, with David Ornstein delivering the latest update on their contract situations.
Writing for The Athletic, the football correspondent explained: “Sorting out key contract renewals was one of the major tasks Richard Hughes faced when he stepped in as Liverpool’s sporting director just over a year ago.
“After a lengthy process, Salah and Van Dijk are now close to agreeing two-year extensions — a timely boost for Arne Slot’s squad as they edge toward the Premier League title.
“There’s always been a strong sense of confidence within the club that both players would stay.”
This development not only puts an end to the ongoing speculation surrounding their futures, but also ensures that at least one full season will be free from contract-related distractions.
More importantly, it means two of Liverpool’s modern-day legends are set to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future — a massive win for the club.
Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk aren’t going anywhere.
Paul Joyce was among the first to break the news, and with trusted names like him leading the story, there’s little doubt that this is the real deal.
Fabrizio Romano has also reported a strong sense of urgency from those involved to get the announcement out as soon as possible — a move that will undoubtedly excite fans and finally put an end to the constant questions Salah and Van Dijk have faced about their futures.
Credit must go to Richard Hughes, too. Earlier reports suggested the club and players were far apart in negotiations, but he’s managed to bring both sides together and get it over the line.
Two more years of our captain and the Egyptian King? That’s the kind of news every Liverpool supporter dreams of.
