According to Football Insider, following the appointment of a new manager, three Liverpool players—Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah—all enter the final year of their contracts with no signs of renewal. The Reds risk losing all three on free transfers next summer.
In addition to a managerial change, the club’s hierarchy has undergone adjustments. One of the most pressing tasks for the new management team is to secure the futures of Arnold, Van Dijk, and Salah, who were trusted by former manager Jürgen Klopp. However, there has been no progress on renewing their contracts.
Football Insider reports that Liverpool will engage in discussions with the trio over the coming weeks. If negotiations do not go smoothly, all three players could leave the club as free agents next summer. Each player faces a different situation: Salah’s links with Saudi Arabian clubs are ambiguous, Arnold has attracted interest from Real Madrid, and Van Dijk has hinted at a potential departure.
Despite Real Madrid’s interest in Arnold, Liverpool has set an asking price of €80 million. Noted transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Van Dijk’s future remains uncertain, stating, “Liverpool is waiting for Van Dijk to return to the squad for pre-season preparations.”
The club itself has taken no action, believing August to be the appropriate time for contract renewal talks. “We expect July to be quiet, but perhaps we’ll see more developments in August,” a source within the club commented.
