According to Football Insider, Premier League giants Liverpool are planning to start contract renewal talks with defensive stalwart Van Dyke at the end of this year. The news has attracted widespread attention from fans and the media, as Van Dyke's current contract will expire next summer, and his previous reticence to renew his contract has led to much speculation.
Sources revealed that despite the imminent expiry of Van Dyke's contract, Liverpool have not rushed to start renewal talks, mainly because the Dutch international has just finished his post-Euro vacation and needs some time to recover and adjust his form. However, with the depth of the season and Slaughter's solid foothold in the team, the two sides are expected to carry out formal contract renewal negotiations at the end of this year.
Van Dyk showed excellent performance last season, making a total of 48 appearances in all competitions, providing solid protection for Liverpool's defense. As an indispensable member of the team, Van Dyke not only has excellent defensive ability, but also often contributes to the attacking end of the key power, is an important pillar for Liverpool to achieve multi-line performance.
As a result, Liverpool are taking the renewal of Van Dyke's contract particularly seriously. They hope that the extension will stabilize the army and ensure that the team will continue to maintain strong competitiveness in the coming seasons. At the same time, Van Dyke himself is also full of affection for Liverpool, where he spent the golden period of his career and helped the team win a number of important titles.
