Liverpool Football Club now find themselves in a decisive mood following Mo Salah’s surprising post-Manchester United statement.
The Egyptian international surprised the football world by revealing that Liverpool has not yet started discussions about extending his contract.
It now appears the club is addressing this issue and is set to begin negotiations in the coming weeks, according to Football Insider, as reported by CaughtOffside, just before the international break.
Why has Liverpool not prioritized expiring contracts?
In Richard Hughes’ defense, the Scot had a significant list of responsibilities this summer. At 45, he was tasked with replacing the legendary Jurgen Klopp, bringing in new staff, and managing potential new signings. Overall, our new sporting director has done a decent job, though it’s not been without flaws.
However, fans might be puzzled by the club’s apparent delay in negotiating with three key players: our No.11, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. This is particularly surprising with Alexander-Arnold, given his youth (25 years old) and his status as one of the most exceptional talents in global football.
Certainly, it would be unfair to both Salah and our captain not to acknowledge their ongoing significance to the club and their potential long-term roles in the sport.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Liverpool plans to discuss the futures of these three players over the next month or so.
