LONDON (AP) — Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is getting closer to signing a new contract with the runaway Premier League leader.
“There is progress, yeah,” Van Dijk said in comments reported Monday. “Listen, these are internal discussions and we’ll see.”
Van Dijk, who turns 34 in July, is out of contract along with Anfield standouts Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold after what looks set to be a league title-winning season.
While Alexander-Arnold has been expected to join Real Madrid, Van Dijk and Salah have seemed more likely to extend their stays that started in the 2017-18 season.
