According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Liverpool have made an offer to the club captain and an opening proposal took place some time ago.
There has been no breakthrough yet on the length of the deal or its value, but talks are taking place with the Netherlands international about extending his contract which expires next summer.
As it stands, the 33-year-old will be free to open talks with foreign clubs in January and could even sign a pre-contract agreement if he’s happy with the offer.
However, the Premier League giants appear to be keen on retaining his services moving forward under Arne Slot. It was also noted that an offer for Mohamed Salah is anticipated soon, while dialogue is also taking place with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Van Dijk has played every minute of Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League campaign this season, as he has been an integral part of Slot’s setup.
Liverpool boasts the best defensive record in the English top flight after the opening 13 games, having only conceded eight goals.
Van Dijk has been a pivotal part of that, and fans have claimed that the news of him potentially re-signing is “life-changing.
