However, while Hall’s contract extension is a positive development, it isn’t the contract news Liverpool fans have been eagerly awaiting. The club still faces unresolved issues with three key players—Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold—all of whom are in the final year of their contracts.
Salah, who has been pivotal to Liverpool’s success, has scored 30 goals and provided 22 assists in 39 appearances this season. Despite his desire to stay at Anfield, contract negotiations have yet to reach a conclusion, leaving uncertainty about his long-term future. Van Dijk, the club’s captain and one of the best defenders in the league, has also expressed a wish to remain but has left the decision up to the club regarding a new deal.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold, regarded as one of the best full-backs globally and a product of Liverpool’s academy, has attracted interest from top European clubs like Real Madrid. With no agreement on a new deal yet, concerns are growing that the England international may consider a move abroad.
Journalist David Ornstein recently reported that while there is optimism about keeping Van Dijk and Salah, Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool seems more uncertain, with a potential move to one of the European giants looking likely.
Securing new contracts for these three players should be a top priority for the club. Both Salah and Van Dijk, despite their age, have maintained exceptional form this season, with Salah’s performances worthy of Ballon d’Or consideration.
