On Monday (Jan 6) evening the Egyptian posted a picture of him, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold which comes as a statement to the Liverpool board. Currently, the club is nowhere near agreeing on a new deal for the trio as contract talks have stalled on multiple occasions. The Fenway Sports Group, owners of the Merseyside club are reluctant to splash huge sums on Van Dijk and Salah who are already in their 30s while Alexander-Arnold’s expected salary becomes a huge obstacle to agreeing on a new deal. 

As things stand, all players remain committed to the club but are free to negotiate a new deal with any club having entered the final six months of their contract. According to reports, full-back Alexander-Arnold has attracted interest from Real Madrid while Salah has potential suitors in the Saudi Pro League. Van Dijk’s situation is interesting with a club linked with his services but has huge potential to settle at any top club in Europe.
