The Reds are eager to tie down the Dutchman to a new improved contract to scare off interest from other heavyweight suitors.
Reports earlier stated that Paris Saint-Germain have tabled a deal that would see Van Dijk earn a £280k weekly wages if he takes his career to the Parc de Princes.
But according to The Sun, the Netherlands international is happy at Liverpool and will sign a five-year deal worth £57million when the Reds win the Premier League.
The new Liverpool deal would see the 28-year-old earn 220k weekly, becoming the highest paid player in the club ahead of Mohamed Salah who's paid £200,000.
Van Dijk has appeared in every minute of Liverpool's Premier League campaign this season, with the Reds closing-in on the title after thirty years drought.
