NewsVirgil van Dijk shares special tribute to Mo Salah and Andy Robertson

It was announced on Thursday evening that Robertson’s trophy-filled spell with the Reds will end after nine years at the conclusion of this season.

Salah had previously announced his record-breaking time at Anfield, which also began in 2017, will come to a finish this summer too.

Van Dijk has been teammates with both since he joined the club in January 2018, winning two Premier League titles, a Champions League, FA Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and more together.

“Nine years… that’s not just a chapter, that’s a whole era,” the defender wrote in a post on social media.

“And when you think about everything we’ve been through in that time, it’s pretty incredible. We know all good things eventually come to an end…

“Through the highs, the pressure, the big moments, and the celebrations, you’ve been there every step of the way. Together, we’ve won everything. But more than the trophies, it’s the memories, the battles, and the laughs along the way that we’ll remember most. We’ve been through everything together, big wins and tough defeats.

“But no matter what was happening, when the whistle blew, we knew we could count on each other. You’ve both been more than teammates, leaders, brothers, and men we could always count on when it mattered most.

“So thank you both for the effort, the commitment, the laughs, and the memories. Thank you for helping us win everything, and for making the journey even better along the way.

“You came as teammates, you leave as legends… and more importantly, you leave as family.”
