Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk have signed new contracts at Liverpool to end all speculation over their futures of the club.

That is according to Anfield Edition, who report that the superstar pair have put pen to paper on new deals that will soon be announced officially.

The report does not state the details of the new contract, but it has been reported elsewhere that the new deals are likely to run until 2027.

If confirmed, this will be huge news for Liverpool and their fans who ran the very real risk of losing Salah, Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold on free transfers when their contracts are due to expire this summer.

Alexander-Arnold is still expected to sign for Real Madrid on a Bosman Transfer, but Anfield Edition claims that Salah and Van Dijk are now staying.

Both Salah and Van Dijk have been stuck in negotiations for several months.

Liverpool legends Salah and Van Dijk

Salah, 32, and Van Dijk, 33, are regarded as two of the greatest players in the history of Liverpool

Together they have won a host of titles, including the Premier League and Champions League.

Salah has scored an incredible 236 goals in 382 games and is enjoying another brilliant season this term with 25 goals in all competitions already.

Van Dijk, meanwhile, has been back to his best at the heart of the defence having established himself as arguably the world’s best defender earlier in his Liverpool career.

Thanks to Salah and Van Dijk’s performances, Liverpool are racing away with the Premier League title.

They are six points clear with a game in hand at the top of the Premier League, while they are through to the Champions League last 16 after topping the League phase.

If Salah and Van Dijk’s new contracts are confirmed, it will give Liverpool a huge boost between now and the end of the season.
