Following the announcement of Virgil van Dijk’s contract, Liverpool supporters have been taking to social media to express their reactions to what Trent Alexander-Arnold did in response to the news.
On Thursday morning, it was officially announced that Van Dijk has signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool, putting an end to the months of speculation that had been going on about his future with the club.
Following in the footsteps of Mohamed Salah, who signed a contract to prolong his career at Anfield last week, the 33-year-old player followed in his footsteps.
Following the signing of his new contract, Van Dijk provided the following explanation: “It was always Liverpool.” That turned out to be the situation. It was always Liverpool, it was always the plan, and it was always in my head throughout the entire process.
“There was not a single shred of uncertainty in my mind that this is the location that I and my family should be in. A member of Liverpool, I am. Someone recently referred to me as an adopted Scouser, and I must say that it makes me feel quite pleased. Hearing things like this gives me a wonderful feeling.
Now that the season is over, all eyes are on Alexander-Arnold, whose contract will expire at the end of the season. It has been widely speculated that he will be transferring to Real Madrid, the Spanish giants, on a free transfer.
Nevertheless, supporters who are particularly perceptive on social media have seen that Alexander-Arnold has ‘liked’ the tweet that Van Dijk made announcing his new deal with Liverpool.
Virgil’s post on Instagram was liked by Trent Alexander Arnold, according to a fan who responded to the news.
Someone another added in a tweet, “It’s never too late.”
An further supporter stated, “If Trent makes a change of heart, I will be the most hypocritical person in the entire world.” What I’m going to do is declare my love for that man in the same way that I did previously.
It was written by another individual that “Stop a**ing around and sign it lad.”
Furthermore, Alexander-Arnold was seen like Salah’s tweet about the news of his deal the previous week.
The Englishman has not featured for Liverpool since they were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint Germain last month.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Alexander-Arnold has resumed his training, despite the fact that there are just six matches left in the Premier League season.
Following their absence from the Premier League, Liverpool will return to play this weekend when they take on Leicester City in the afternoon on Sunday.
