Van Dijk receives record salary when re-signing with Liverpool

Van Dijk continues to stick with Liverpool.

Days after Mohamed Salah signed a new contract with Liverpool, Van Dijk chose to stay at Anfield. Both key players will continue to contribute to Liverpool in the coming years.

Athletic said Van Dijk's new contract does not include a release clause. The Dutch centre-back will not take a pay cut, meaning he will still earn around £400,000 a week. This is the highest income in the team, on par with Salah. This shows that Liverpool still highly value Van Dijk's ability and experience in 2025.

Sharing on the homepage, Van Dijk expressed his happiness: “I am very happy and proud. The feeling is great. To continue my career at Liverpool for another 2 years is truly unbelievable. Liverpool is always in my mind. This is the place for me and my family."

Since joining Liverpool in 2017 for a record transfer fee of more than £75 million from Southampton, Van Dijk has become an indispensable symbol of "The Kop". He has played more than 300 games and won 8 major titles with the team, including the Premier League and Champions League.

Under the guidance of coach Arne Slot, Van Dijk is still a difficult pillar to replace. Liverpool is leading the Premier League table in the 2024/25 season with impressive form. The team has a great chance of winning the title a few rounds early.

Despite keeping Van Dijk and Salah, Liverpool let Trent Alexander-Arnold prepare to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

Jota's only goal helped Liverpool solidify their top spot. In the 57th minute, Diogo Jota scored the only goal to help Liverpool win the Merseyside derby against Everton.
