Liverpool look to hand Virgil van Dijk new long-term deal to end 150m Juventus transfer interest along with Alisson

LIVERPOOL are reportedly making moves to tie Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to longer deals at Anfield.

Centre-half Van Dijk and keeper Alisson have been instrumental in Liverpool romping away with the Premier League this season.

And according to the Independent, the Reds’ “priority is to lock down the worlds best centre-back and goalkeeper for the long-term with both wanting extended contracts”.

Van Dijk has been the jewel in Liverpools defence, which has conceded just 15 Prem goals in 25 games this season.

He became the world’s most expensive defender when he joined Liverpool for 75million from Southampton in January 2018.

In Alisson the Reds finally found a replacement for Pepe Reina, with Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius proving error-prone.

The Italian giants want to make the Liverpool star the worlds most expensive defender for the second time.

A Juve source said: After winning a bagful of trophies with Liverpool, Juventus think he may be ready for a new challenge at the end of the season especially as hes been playing in the UK for a few years.

And the club are actively planning to make a huge bid for him in the summer.

VVD last week admitted: Im 28 now and I want to fulfil every dream I ever had.

Life can be short. Your career can be short as well.

Im enjoying playing with this team and this manager. We cant look too far ahead. But right now, Im enjoying it.
