Still, Liverpool’s three big stars on expiring contracts have not signed an extension. The signals are mostly positive that it will happen for at least two of them.
Mohamed Salah is said to have rejected the idea of Saudi Arabia, but hope is said to have listened to an incredible salary offer from Paris Saint-Germain. Captain Virgil van Dijk is said to have effectively decided to stay and will be at the detailed stage of negotiations with Liverpool.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been a Liverpool player all his life, is said to be tempted by Real Madrid simply because it is something else. TalkSPORT reports that two demands have been made against Liverpool that will ensure that Real Madrid is not selected.
One is to get the captain’s armband, but out of respect for Virgil van Dijk, it could be something that could come in the long run. Sky Sports has discussed this very topic several times. The argument against is Trent Alexander-Arnold’s gentle demeanor and that he will not be able to be “as tough” to others as he is to himself.
Hard to leave this!!
The second requirement shouldn’t be a problem for Livepool. Trent Alexander-Arnold wants a contract of at least three years. However, the Spanish media are convinced that Alexander-Arnold cannot stand against Real Madrid, and will join now or in the summer when his contract expires.
