The trio has been central to the success of Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool, this season for Arne Slot. Mo Salah, Van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold. For a club, it becomes somewhat overwhelming when all three are simultaneously heading towards contract expiration in three months’ time. This week, it is reported that one has half his body on his way to Real Madrid on a free transfer, but there are also bright spots from the negotiating room at Anfield.
Last month, former Liverpool player Dejan Lovren stated his friend Salah was closer to exit than extension. Earlier this month, rumours swirled when Van Dijk was spotted talking to the PSG boss and Luis Campos after the Champions League match at Anfield. It shouldn’t have been a “see you soon” call, but Liverpool supporters are anything but reassured when they see contract expirations for the two players moving far too quickly closer.

Well-informed Times journalist Paul Joyce reports positive signals regarding two-thirds of the super trio on expiring contracts.
“Among Liverpool supporters, there has been some resignation about Alexander-Arnold’s future for several months – despite the fact that he has a good relationship with Slot and has benefited from the coach’s guidance this season. Talks are still ongoing, and Real Madrid remain confident that they will secure the England international,” Joyce begins.
It was Alexander-Arnold, who Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes will strongly regret leaving Liverpool.
“However, there is a greater hope that Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will extend their contracts. Both players are also without a contract in the summer, and negotiations are still ongoing, although no final agreement is in place, says the Times journalist.
We call these two bright spots for Liverpool supporters.
