Despite rumours of a departure, the Reds are reportedly taking steps to agree on fresh terms with one key player.
Liverpool have offered Virgil van Dijk a new contract in an attempt to secure the short-term future of their captain.
Van Dijk's Liverpool future
The Netherlands defender is one of three key players, along with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose current contracts are set to expire next summer.
While talks with Salah have yet to yield a formal offer, the Reds have taken the initiative with Van Dijk, presenting him with a proposal to extend his stay at Anfield, per the Athletic.
However, the offer reportedly fell short of the Dutchman's expectations, and negotiations are ongoing.
Van Dijk's return to top form
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Van Dijk has been a crucial figure for Liverpool this season, starting every Premier League and Champions League match.
His performances have been instrumental in the team's strong start under new manager Arne Slot, with the Merseyside club atop the Premier League standings heading into round 14.
