Virgil van Dijk is seeking an improved contract extension with Liverpool following a historical season for the center back. Van Dijk was named the PFA Player of the Season and is expected to be a serious candidate for the Ballon d'Or.

Both Liverpool and the player's agent, Neil Fewings of Wasserman, are relaxed about the process.

Van Dijk is already among the highest earners with Liverpool. Van Dijk signed a five-and-a-half-year deal upon his £75 million switch from Southampton in January 2018.
