Dutch media defender Virgil Van Dyck will become the highest-paid player in the history of the English football team, by signing a new contract whereby he receives a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds, beating his fellow Egyptian Mohamed Salah in this regard.
The British newspaper "The Sun" reported the evening of yesterday that Van Dyck (28 years) will sign a new five-year contract with Liverpool, with a total value of 57 million pounds, after Liverpool crowned the Premier League title this season.
The newspaper pointed out that this would end fears about the player's chances of moving to Paris Saint-Germain. Under his current contract with Liverpool, Van Dyck will receive a weekly salary of 180,000 pounds. According to the expected new contract with Liverpool, Van Dyck will bypass the highest-paid player at the moment in the ranks of Liverpool, the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who gets a weekly salary of 200 thousand pounds.
