DEAL DONE: Elite Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have signed new contracts with Liverpool, while the club remained silent to safeguard its third superstar

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk are all key figures at Liverpool, but their futures with the club are under scrutiny as they approach the end of their contracts this season. Reports indicate that both Salah and van Dijk have secured agreements with Liverpool, while the club is remaining tight-lipped about Alexander-Arnold’s situation to avoid putting pressure on him.

Virgil van Dijk’s future is still uncertain, as Liverpool’s initial contract proposal reportedly “falls short of his expectations.” While many believe he is likely to stay, the situation remains fluid. Mohamed Salah, courted by the Saudi Pro League, is also speculated to remain at Anfield, with Van Dijk suggesting that ongoing contract discussions may have affected Salah’s mindset.

According to Anfield Edition, van Dijk and Salah have inked new contracts, but the club’s silence regarding Alexander-Arnold’s status seems strategic, aimed at allowing him to make a decision without added pressure. This has created a somewhat muddled narrative, as reports highlighting the club’s intention to shield Alexander-Arnold inadvertently draw attention to his situation.

Losing all three prominent players simultaneously would be a significant blow for Liverpool, making the handling of these contract negotiations crucial as the club looks to build for the future.
