Wishful pondering? Maybe. But, experiences across the membership counsel the Reds are actively engaged on a contract extension for his or her vice-captain, Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah.
In actual fact, ideas of an ‘deadlock’ in talks shouldn’t be handed a completely unfavorable tilt in experiences. The Merseysiders are dedicated to conserving maintain of all of the trio in query.

That’s to not counsel issues aren’t sophisticated considerably by Actual Madrid’s reported curiosity within the No.66. Likewise, Trent’s obvious resolution to carry fireplace on placing pen to paper on contemporary phrases till additional evaluating Liverpool’s competitiveness beneath new head coach Arne Slot gained’t assist expedite issues.
Fortunately, the previous Feyenoord boss is impressing on that entrance, with the Reds having entered the worldwide break on the prime of the Premier League desk. Even when commentators should emphasise the standard of opponents confronted within the 2024/25 season thus far, the standard of the Anfield-based outfit’s play is indeniable. Trent Alexander-Arnold, for his half, has been a key a part of this early season cost.
Trent Alexander-Arnold might lengthen his Liverpool contract in October
It’s not totally past the realms to counsel that our proper fullback might commit his long-term future to the membership in October.
As quickly as that appears, it should be borne in thoughts that the England worldwide might be free to signal a pre-contract settlement with a international outfit from January 1 onwards. That date isn’t far off within the distance – it’s 82 days away to be exact. You’ll be able to virtually hear the clock ticking.
That’s to not counsel Liverpool are incapable of getting this over the road in November (or, God forbid, in December). Leaving it as an end-of-year field to tick, nevertheless, certainly isn’t within the membership or the participant’s curiosity and can certainly solely embolden Actual Madrid forward of the winter window.
On the very least, we’re unlikely to see Trent make a January switch swap to the Spanish capital!
Mo Salah name needs to be apparent after Trent Alexander-Arnold contract
Mo Salah’s future at Liverpool is a relatively much less complicated challenge.
The Egyptian worldwide will flip 33 by the following summer time window, at which level his present phrases are set to run out.
The previous Roma hitman is unlikely to see Richard Hughes roll out the purple carpet in the identical method that noticed a wage structure-breaking contract provided and accepted again in 2022. A wage provide within the area of £350,000-a-week would be the pinnacle of his Anfield profession. Whether or not one other outfit in Saudi Arabia – or the MLS, as has been just lately reported – could be ready to sanction an enormous contract provide to take Salah overseas stays to be seen.
From our standpoint, the Egyptian King seems able to competing at a excessive customary within the Premier League for no less than one other season.
If Hughes and Co. can handle to maintain the winger glad and dedicated to Arne Slot’s mission till 2026, or past, that would appear an apparent transfer for all events concerned.
