Liverpool Football Club has had a quiet summer transfer window, but there’s promising news for fans. The club is in ongoing talks to extend the contracts of key players: captain Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The new coach, Arne Slot, has quickly approved the terms for these extensions.
Sources indicate that while no agreements have been finalized, all three players are focused on staying with Liverpool. This is reassuring for Reds supporters, who might be anxious about the club’s future following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
There have been rumors linking Van Dijk and Salah to Saudi Pro League teams like Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ettifaq. However, neither player has shown interest in these offers, despite the potential financial benefits. For Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid remains interested, but they are not planning to make an offer before his contract expires in 2025. Instead, they hope to sign both Alphonso Davies and Alexander-Arnold for free that year.
The only scenario that might change the players’ minds is if they receive better contract offers from another Premier League club. Nonetheless, the momentum seems to be in Liverpool’s favor, providing a significant boost to Coach Slot as he looks to win over the Anfield faithful.
