Liverpool plan new contract offer for Virgil van Dijk amid Juventus interest

Liverpool are preparing to offer central defender Virgil van Dijk a new contract, a move that could keep the Netherlands international at Anfield for next season and end Juventus’ hopes of signing him.

According to TuttoJuve, the English club intends to begin negotiations with the 35-year-old in early 2027. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola wants the club captain to remain with the squad for another year and has made retaining him a priority.

Van Dijk has made 15 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions this season, without scoring or providing an assist.

The defender’s current contract with the Merseyside club expires next summer.
