The upcoming months are crucial for Arne Slot and Liverpool, as they not only need to maintain their winning form but also resolve the contract situations of key players Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
These three are arguably among Liverpool’s best, and the team’s composition could change significantly if any or all of them leave at the end of the season.
Trent’s exceptional passing, van Dijk’s defensive strength, and Salah’s goal-scoring prowess have been instrumental in Liverpool’s success during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure.
Therefore, the club’s board must handle these contract negotiations carefully if they hope to retain these star players.
Salah’s representatives are reportedly already in talks about a potential move. Sources from CaughtOffside indicate that Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli is currently in discussions to sign the Egyptian forward.
While Salah’s preference is to stay at Liverpool, he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a transfer to the Emirates.
Al-Ahli is also monitoring van Dijk, and even if they don’t secure Salah, they are open to pursuing the Dutch defender. The plan is to offer both players a three-year contract with an option for a fourth year, depending on mutual agreement.
If negotiations with Liverpool fail, both Salah and van Dijk are reportedly open to considering a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Additionally, other Saudi clubs, including Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, have also shown interest in Salah, further indicating a growing desire to bring him to the league.
PSG is also reportedly tracking Salah, potentially offering him the opportunity to remain in European football at a high level.
