Liverpool are optimistic about extending the stay of their star trio Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool management are confident of reaching agreement on a new deal with their star trio. Following the departure of Jürgen Klopp, there has been a lot of talk about the future of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold at the club.
However, the report suggests that the Reds have the situation firmly under control. They are confident that they will be able to convince their star players, who have been instrumental in their recent success, to sign a contract extension despite the high level of interest in them.
Without Klopp, but with his backbone
Salah has been linked with a move to the Middle East in the recent past. Saudi Pro League clubs will be available for his services again in the summer and with only a year left on his contract by then, the Reds will no longer be in charge. They also risk losing their star for free if they don’t approve his departure.
Despite the possibility of a free agent departure, the Reds are not worried about Salah leaving. They are also not worried about Van Dijk or Alexander-Arnold, as the duo’s contract also ends in the summer of 2025.
There is no shortage of clubs for both players, but Liverpool believe they can build a new project that will convince them to stay despite Jurgen Klopp’s summer departure. The German coach’s decision to end his time at Liverpool came as a shock to everyone.
He was one of the main reasons for his success and with his departure there were reports that players were weighing up their options. His departure is already a huge blow, so the club cannot afford to lose any of its key players at this stage.
Despite everything going on behind the scenes, the Merseyside club are confident that if they have the right ambition in the new era, they can convince the trio to sign a new long-term deal that will commit their immediate future to the club reveals.
