Liverpool may have already sealed a new contract for one of their most important players, although the news has not yet been officially confirmed.
The Reds have been dealing with worrying off-field issues for some time, with all three Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold all out of contract at the end of the season.
Liverpool fans were no doubt concerned about the prospect of losing these three players on free transfers, but it appears there is now Some good news about Van Dijk.
according to TransfersThe Dutch international has already signed a new two-year contract with the Merseyside giants, committing his future to the club.
The report suggests that Liverpool are happy with this development, and one imagines that fans will also be celebrating once it becomes official.
Virgil van Dijk will stay at Liverpool, but can they keep their other stars?
Van Dijk's future appears to be resolved now, but Liverpool also need to ensure Salah and Alexander-Arnold stay on for next season and beyond.
Salah may head to Saudi Arabia If recent reports are to be believed, with Gianluigi Longari Claiming that Al Hilal appears to be the most likely candidate to sign him.
Meanwhile, Chiringuito Press reports stated that Alexander-Arnold's transfer to Real Madrid has already become a final deal for next season.
Losing two out of three of these key players would certainly be a major failure by the Liverpool board, even if retaining Van Dijk is clearly good news.
It is surprising that Liverpool have allowed themselves to get into this situation, as it is difficult to remember another club facing such a similar transfer nightmare in recent times.
Liverpool fans hope they can move past this, and that important lessons can be learned from it so it doesn't happen again.
