“Here we go soon,” Fabrizio Romano teased, delivering a significant update on Liverpool. He described the news as “massive” and noted that Richard Hughes has been very active behind the scenes.

Liverpool have achieved a major breakthrough in contract negotiations just ahead of the summer transfer window, boosting morale during a critical point in the season. Under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot, the Reds remain in the hunt for the Premier League title, but attention is already shifting to the upcoming transfer window, with potential changes expected across the squad.

 

Several high-profile players have been linked with moves away from Anfield, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract situation has sparked strong interest from Real Madrid. Likewise, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk were both entering the final stretch of their current deals, raising concerns among fans. However, those concerns have now been eased thanks to new updates from reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano.

 

Romano revealed on his YouTube channel that Liverpool are in the final stages of securing contract extensions for both Salah and Van Dijk. The agreements are practically complete, with only final details and paperwork left to be processed. Legal teams have already been alerted, and draft documents are in circulation. Romano described this as a “massive, massive” development, considering the speculation around the futures of both players and the interest they attracted from other top European clubs.

 

He also credited Liverpool’s new sporting director Richard Hughes for his behind-the-scenes efforts in ensuring these key deals were pushed forward. Despite previous statements from the players suggesting that progress had stalled, it’s now clear that the club had a long-term vision and were working quietly to secure their core talents.

 

This news comes at a vital moment. Liverpool recently suffered a narrow 3-2 loss to Fulham, slightly denting their title challenge. But the confirmation that two of the team’s most influential figures are staying is expected to provide a huge lift to both the dressing room and the fans. Salah, who has contributed 44 Premier League goal involvements this season (27 goals and 17 assists), and Van Dijk, who continues to be a rock in defence, are essential to the team’s success.

 

With Giorgi Mamardashvili already signed and reinforcements being planned for other key positions—such as left-back, centre-back, and forward—Liverpool’s summer looks set to be an active one. And with these major contract renewals nearly finalized, the club is sending a clear message: they are committed to maintaining a world-class core while building for long-term success under Slot’s leadership.

 

The announcement is expected to further unify the team and energize the fanbase as Liverpool prepares for a crucial clash against West Ham, a game that could prove pivotal in the title race.
