Liverpool are unlikely to see their opening contract offer to Virgil van Dijk accepted, according to The Athletic. It is reported that the deal "fell short" of the 33-year-old's expectations, with an agreement still required on the length and salary. The deal is the first to be offered by the Reds as they look to resolve three key first-team contract situations -- Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold -- and it is said that talks are continuing with the Netherlands centre-back's representatives.
