Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk near new Liverpool contracts

Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are reportedly close to signing new contracts with Liverpool, effectively resolving their long-standing contract sagas. Both players' current deals expire this summer, and Liverpool is optimistic about finalizing the agreements soon, particularly as Trent Alexander-Arnold prepares for a move to Real Madrid. Salah has attracted significant interest from Saudi clubs, but it appears he will remain with the Reds, where he has been a prolific scorer. Van Dijk has also indicated progress in his contract discussions and is expected to extend his stay at Anfield. Liverpool's management, led by Fenway Sports Group, has been under pressure to secure both players, especially as the team aims for a Premier League title. The club hopes to announce the new contracts promptly to alleviate fan concerns and boost morale.
