Liverpool poised to extend Virgil van Dijk's contract as transfer interest in Loic Bade grows

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk is reportedly set to extend his contract with the club, ending speculation about his future. He is currently out of contract in June 2024 and could negotiate with other clubs starting in January. Discussions about Van Dijk's new deal began in October, but he has remained non-committal in public statements. He emphasized his focus on the current season and winning games with Liverpool. Additionally, Liverpool is monitoring Sevilla defender Loic Bade, who has a release clause of around £50 million. Sevilla is open to selling players like Bade to address their financial issues, which have led to significant losses in recent years.
