The Reds, who were just denied the title last season, suffered in the early going this year as draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace were exacerbated by Monday's humiliating loss at rivals Manchester United, according to DPA.
The forward, who was named the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players' Player of the Year for 2021-22 after helping Juergen Klopp's side to a domestic cup double, has now committed his future to the Reds.
The 36-year-old's previous deal was due to expire at the end of this month and the midfielder had external offers from one Premier League club and two from overseas but he chose to remain with Liverpool.
But Klopp is waiting to find out the extent of injuries to top-scorer Salah and defensive talisman Van Dijk, who were both forced off at Wembley on Saturday.
Liverpool currently have a 25 point lead at the top in the Premier League standings with 9 matches still to be played. This in effect means that a couple of more wins would seal the title for them.
Final memorial service for the victims was due to take place at Anfield on Wednesday, but has been postponed due to coronavirus guidelines on mass gathering.
Notably, Dalglish tested positive for the virus despite showing no symptoms, his family said on Friday.
Although the Premier League season is currently delayed until at least April 30 due to the coronavirus outbreak, Klopp is in constant contact with his squad.
Liverpool had established a 25-point lead at the top of the Premier League table prior to the suspension of the top-flight competition due to Coronavirus.
