Arne Slot has addressed rumors surrounding Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk’s potential new contracts.
The head coach clarified, “There are some contract situations you may not know about, but as of now, Trent, Mo, and Virgil haven’t extended their contracts.”
He acknowledged the importance of staying prepared for potential changes and emphasized that the club has many people focusing on long-term planning. Slot noted that players not currently featuring regularly could be uncertain about their future, making it crucial to be ready for the next transfer window.
John Barnes also shared his thoughts, stating that, if in charge of the contract renewals, he would prioritize the captain as the most important of the three. While fans have varied opinions on who should stay or go, most seem to want all three players to commit to the club.
Although Liverpool likely has the financial capability to make these deals, it remains unclear if their financial model will allow for it. As of now, no new contracts have been signed, and it doesn’t appear that any are imminent.
