-Arnold was one of the Liverpool players who expressed their support for captain Virgil van Dijk following his signing of a new two-year contract at Anfield. In the face of uncertainty regarding his future at Anfield, the England defender is the final player who has yet to sign new terms.

The 26-year-old has been subjected to criticism for the manner in which his Reds contract has been permitted to deteriorate to its current state. However, the speculation surrounding the fullback is on the rise, as Real Madrid is a potential suitor, following the recent agreements for Van Dijk and star forward Mohamed Salah, which were signed prior to the critical victory over West Ham United on Sunday.

Van Dijk will remain at Liverpool until 2027, following Thursday’s announcement that resolved an entire season of speculation, murmurs, and reports regarding his future under fellow Dutchman, Arne Slot. However, the 33-year-old’s extension reinforces the potential for additional success with the former Feyenoord head coach in charge.

Van Dijk is increasingly at risk of becoming the first Dutchman to win the Premier League, as Liverpool is only two victories away from achieving this feat.The captain of the Reds shared an emotive message on Instagram, expressing his desire to remain at the club, despite the rumours of a potential transfer to Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in recent months.

The Liverpool teammates were in full effect as they commemorated the significant transaction that was facilitated by sporting director Richard Hughes. Curtis Jones was one of the current crop of players to remark on the post, and Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexander-Arnold were among the stars to like the post. “I am experiencing an abundance of emotions as I discuss this matter.”

“It is a feeling of joy and pride.” It is truly remarkable. I am ecstatic to be able to extend my career at this club for an additional two years, as it has been an incredible voyage thus far. “Liverpool was consistently the case.” That was the truth. The plan was perpetually present in my mind, and Liverpool was always the destination.
