Liverpool supporters think they have seen a sign that Virgil van Dijk will follow Mo Salah when signing a new contract on Friday.
The Reds announced on Friday morning that Salah has finally put Pen on paper about a new two -year -old deal with a value of £ 375,000 a week, so that a contract Saga has ended his shadow over their brilliant campaign.
Liverpool has broken a gold rule by offering him a new deal, because Fenway Sports Group is usually reluctant to hand out new contracts older than 30 to players.
Salah's contract would expire in the summer, a situation of Captain Van Dijk is also in.
Mail Sport reported earlier this week that both stars almost commit their future to the club and that fans have a theory why Van Dijk will also do this on Friday.
The Redmen TV, who have nearly 700,000 followers, posted a photo of the two players next to their shirt numbers that can be seen, write: “The date of someone today?”
Friday is April 11, which can also be written as 11/4, the figures at the back of Salah (11) and Van Dijk's (4) shirts.
And supporters believe that their club has tactically waiting to announce both new deals to this day.
“It must be normal, not,” wrote one in response to the viral post, while someone else said: “They certainly did that on purpose.”
“Liverpool announcing 11 and 4 on 11/04 is absolutely goat marketing when it happens,” wrote another.
“You think they planned it that way,” another joked while one said “I thought so, Happy Friday Reds.”
In a statement after the announcement of his new deal, Salah said: 'I am of course very excited. We now have a great team. Before that we also had a great team. But I signed because I think we have the chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football, “he told the club website.
“It's great, I've had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it will be 10. Enjoy my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.
“I would like to say [the fans]I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win many big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we give it our best, and hopefully we will win more trophies in the future. '
A contract offer had been on the table for a while, but Salah and his representative, Ramy Abbas, wanted a better deal. It is understood that Salah initially wanted an extension of three years, and although FSG did not give him, they have broken their traditional policy by offering him a new deal at his age.
Salah had attracted massive interest in Saudi Arabia over the past two years. Al-Eittihad saw that an £ 150 million bid in August 2023, which was quickly rejected by Liverpool.
The Saudis have retained an interest in Salah and investigated whether they could convince him to join them this summer, when his Liverpool contract would expire. The 32-year-old has long been the 'dream goal' of the Saudi Pro League.
