Liverpool’s coach remains calm as key players face contract uncertainty
Liverpool: Coach Arne Slot isn’t sweating over the contract situations of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. With their deals winding down, fans are understandably anxious about the possibility of losing them next summer.
Both Salah and Van Dijk have been linked to clubs in Saudi Arabia, while Alexander-Arnold is rumored to be on Real Madrid’s radar, especially after Dani Carvajal’s injury.
Come January, these players can chat with clubs outside England and might even sign pre-contracts for the summer. The only way to avoid this is for them to sign new deals by the end of December.
Despite the looming uncertainty, Slot is keeping his cool. He told reporters that he’s not worried and believes the players are happy at Liverpool. “They play at a really good club and they’re doing really well at the moment,” he said.
Salah has been the most open about his situation, hinting that this could be his last season. He mentioned he hasn’t received any offers yet, which adds to the tension. “It’s December, and I haven’t received anything yet about my future,” he said after a recent match.
However, there’s some good news. Reports suggest that all three players have now received contract offers, and talks are ongoing. So, there’s still hope for Liverpool fans!
