Liverpool superstar ‘SET TO STAY’ as agent reveals contract twist following Real Madrid victory

Liverpool continued their strong start to the season with a dominant 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, further boosting optimism among their supporters.

Arne Slot’s team overcame the reigning European champions at Anfield on Wednesday night to secure a spot in the next round of the competition. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo sealed an impressive win for the Reds, who now lead both the Premier League and Champions League standings.

Despite both sides missing key players, Liverpool adapted better, earning their 17th win in 19 matches under Slot since his arrival at Anfield. While they’ve secured progression in the tournament, Liverpool still need to confirm a place in the top eight to avoid the play-off round.

Fans have more reason to celebrate, as captain Virgil van Dijk is reportedly close to signing a new contract. The 33-year-old, whose current deal expires at the end of the season along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, has been linked with a potential summer departure after six successful years at the club. However, reports suggest Van Dijk is set to commit his future to Liverpool, with negotiations reportedly nearing completion.

Van Dijk, who could begin discussions with foreign clubs in January, is said to be off the market, with his agent reportedly informing interested parties that the defender is no longer available. Some sources even suggest the new deal may already be signed but is yet to be announced.

Speaking recently to Sky Sports, Van Dijk remained noncommittal about his future but hinted that discussions would be finalized later in the season. “I’m very calm,” he said. “Let’s see what happens towards the end of the season. I’m enjoying my football, physically and mentally. Keep enjoying the game because it’s a beautiful game.”
