Van Dijk and Alisson could sign new Liverpool contracts soon. According to the 'Independent', the club intends to renew their contracts to shield them. They would also receive a substantial wage increase.
They are two of the most important players for Klopp's side. They were vital in the pursuit of the Champions League and they are currently on course to win the Premier League.
The goalkeeper is already under contract until 2024 and the defender until 2023, but taking into account how their situations have changed in the squad throughout these couple of seasons, their status has changed.
Another reason is to avoid other big clubs from trying to sign them. The Reds want to lay the foundations for the next few successful years, and that means keeping these two players in the team.
