Brilliant news: Report claims an even more crucial Reds man is set to sign a new contract worth £250k a week

Virgil van Dijk is the next player to be handed a contract extension at Liverpool, according to 90Min.com, with the colossal Dutchman set to double his wages at Anfield.

The report claims that Van Dijk is currently on £125,000 per week, but will earn double that when the new deal is announced.

He would follow other crucial players like Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Jordan Henderson in signing long-term deals in recent times, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who signed a new contract yesterday.

Tying down the most crucial parts of the team, and rewarding them for their significant progress over the last couple of seasons, is absolutely vital.

Jurgen Klopp has built something special at Anfield and that is only set to continue. Keeping the best players happy, and giving them the financial rewards that their performances warrant in the current market, is only fair.

After the announcement of an expanded Anfield Road End being on the cards earlier this week, this new deal for Van Dijk could be another brilliant bit of news to celebrate. The Reds are a club in a great place right now, and under FSG, are in very safe hands.
