Virgil van Dijk’s future at Liverpool is looking uncertain right now. The club made an initial offer to extend his contract beyond June 2025, but it didn’t meet his expectations. According to David Ornstein, discussions are still open, so it’s not over yet. The club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have a big decision to make, especially since they usually don’t hand out big contracts to players over 30. What do you all think? Will they find a middle ground?
I’m surprised they even made an offer this early. Wonder if it’s a sign they’re serious about keeping him.

Yeah, maybe they’re trying to get ahead of things before the summer transfer window. Smart move, but they need to offer more.

I guess they’re worried about losing him on a free eventually. Just hope they don’t mess this up.
So it sounds like Van Dijk isn’t happy with the terms. What kind of offer would he be looking for?

Probably something close to what he’s already on. He’s one of the best in the world, so he’s gotta be paid like it.

If I had to guess, he wants more security and higher wages, especially with his age being a factor.
Honestly, Liverpool need to decide soon. If he walks, it’ll be a huge blow to the team.

Agreed. Van Dijk’s leadership is massive for the squad. Losing him without a plan B would be risky.

True, but if the owners stick to their policy with big contracts for older players, it could be tough.
This could get messy with Salah’s contract talks too. Maybe Liverpool doesn’t want to upset him by offering Van Dijk too much?

That’s a fair point. Salah’s situation has to be on their mind, and they don’t want to create drama.
It’s a tricky spot for Liverpool. Van Dijk is essential, but are they willing to break their own rules for him?

If they want to keep competing at the top, they might have to. Sometimes you have to make exceptions.
